Hôm nay, 30 tháng năm, là ngày giỗ Cha Pierre Ceyrac sj, vị ân nhân vĩ đại của Trại tỵ nạn đường bộ tại biên giới Thái-Miên những năm 1980's và 1990's....
Có người cho rằng Cha Pierre Ceyrac là vị thánh sống giữa người tỵ nạn...lời nói này cũng còn khiêm tốn cho nhiều người tỵ nạn đường bộ...bỡi lẽ nếu không có Ngài chắc nhiều người chúng ta không có ngày hôm nay...
Cầu xin Cha luôn ban bình an cho chúng con như Cha đã dấn thân cho chúng con 20, 30 năm về trước....
Today is marking the 3rd anniversary to remember our Father Pierre Ceyrac sj ...a greatest benefactor of the
Vietnamese Land Refugee Camps along Thai-Cambodia in 1980's and early 1990's.
Some even suggests that He is likely a Saint who lives with us, among us and now above us...Perhaps that kind of words does not even convey the deep appreciation of many refugees who once could not survive without him...
We pray that he always be with us, bless us as he physically did many years ago ... Here are some pictures about Father Pierre Ceyrac sj ...Please remember and pray for him.... THANK YOU
