25 Years of Witnessing to the Word in Thailand 15 In the spirit of our 19th General Chapter’s theme, “Your light must shine before others: faithful and creative disciples in a wounded world,” I urge you my dear SVD confreres in Thailand to embrace this call to action with vigor and determination. Let your light shine brightly in every corner of Thailand-Myanmar, illuminating the darkness with the love and compassion of Christ. Your faithful and creative discipleship inspires us all, and I am proud of your dedication and commitment to the mission. May you always work in the synodal spirit, fostering a culture of collaboration and partnership that strengthens our collective efforts. I pray for your good health and well-being as you continue to serve the people of Thailand-Myanmar with passion and integrity. May God bless you abundantly as you continue your mission in Thailand-Myanmar and may the next 25 years be filled with even more incredible blessings and achievements. Rome, April 2024 Yours in Christ, Paulus Budi Kleden SVD Superior General Note: Since the writing of this message, Fr Paulus Budi Kleden has been appointed by Pope Francis on May 25, 2024 to be archbishop of Ende Archdiocese, Indonesia.
