100 Many years ago, I picked out three people as my heroes for building a better world. The three were Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul and Mikhail Gorbachev, at that time Prime Minister of Russia. Now two out of three are canonized Saints, I feel proud that I made those choices. Another exciting and memorable moment happened during a Pilgrimage which Helen and I made to the Holy Land. I walked to Mount Sinai, where Moses delivered God’s Ten Commandments. It was great to see the little Church made of bluestone on top of the mountain. It took many hours to reach the top on rocky tracks, and it was still dark when we arrived there. The Church was closed, but we did not see the Sunrise because of thick fog. The trip to the Holy Land was very special, as we visited the place where Jesus came to save the world. It was extremely emotional, knowing that this was the place where He ministered to the people. It was also the place where He was Crucified, Died and three days later raised up to Heaven! As I have mentioned before in this book, Faith has been and will always be my number one priority, therefore attending Mass on Sundays is a must. However, during a few Cruises we have taken, in some cases, where there was no Priest on board the ship, they had a combined Denominational Service every Sunday. My wife, Helen, and I always attended the combined Service, so that we could still honour God! As far back as I can remember, during my life, I have missed Sunday Mass only three times, as there was no Church of any denomination where we were at the time. The other reason was because we had a Charity Fundraising Function, and Helen and I were responsible for providing lunch for three hundred and fifty people, and left us no time to attend Mass. God works in mysterious ways! It is a coincidence that I am writing this book called “Faith, Love and Hope” as, when I was nearing the end of my draft, I found out that, on 11 October this year, 2012, Pope Benedict will launch the year of Faith. I am hoping that the book will be ready to print and on the website by then.
