The newly ordained Bishop Raymond Wai Lin Htun offered his Thanksgiving Mass in St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in his native village, Htone Bo Gway, on March 22.
Hosea's call to repentance and restoration highlights the need for humility and trust in God's mercy, while Jesus' teaching on the greatest commandments emphasizes the primacy of love in our relationship with God and others.
