A Letter of Greeting and Celebration on The Nativity of the Lord Jesus Christ (Christmas) 2014.
Hesed we shalom,
Brothers and sisters.
Today on December 20th 2014, 18 months since IOC Movement-SSBC is founded on June 20th 2013 as a group of people gathered through social media and then since June 29th 2013, she has been; most probably, the first Catholic Virtual Organization in this world.
Brothers and sisters,
During this Christmas 2014, we would like to give a message to the whole world especially to all of Catholic all around the world, that our Traditional Latin Mass community in Sabah and Sarawak from Borneo are praying for the restoration of our Catholic Church especially on her Sacred Liturgy in Traditional Latin Mass.
We really hope that we will bring Hope of God to all His holy people in Sabah and Sarawak in Borneo, so that they would love the Lord Jesus Christ and His Only One Holy Church; the Catholic Church, especially in this Mass of All Ages.
In here, right on the very letter that we would like to express our dedication of obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Laws, that His holy people might be united in only One true Church that He has given us as the bark of Salvation; which is the only one Catholic Church.
"...And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one: I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me."
~Holy Gospel according to St.John the Evangelist [22] - [23]
Therefore,
Traditional Latin Mass will be the same and always will be the root of Catholic Church in Borneo since its first celebration were prayed and sacrificed by the first Catholic Holy Missionaries (St Joseph’s Society of Foreign Missions or Mill Hill Missionaries) that has came to evangelize in Borneo for Borneo Mission:
Started by Monsignor Don Carlos Cuarteron (1857-1879), Borneo was properly recognized as a mission when the Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith (Propaganda Fide) set up the Prefecture Apostolic of Labuan and Borneo on 4 September 1855. The first Prefect Apostolic was Msgr Don Carlos Cuarteron, then by Fr Thomas Jackson (1881-1895); on 5 July 1885 in Kuching and in Sandakan on 5 Nov 1892, and then continued by countless Catholic Holy Missionaries that first landed and celebrated Traditional Latin Mass during the reign of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII.
It is an evidences that with all of the deep rooted in Catholic Church History in Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei in Borneo, we hope that Traditional Latin Mass to be restored to connect all young generation of Catholic to re-treasure and seeking the meaning of the Catholic Faith in them.
By restoring Traditional Latin Mass the Mass of All Ages, it is also the hope of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI in Summorum Pontificum on 2007 so that the Traditional Latin Mass in the Extraordinary Form (Roman Missal Typical Editon 1962 promulgated by Pope St.John XXIII) to be promoted and to be used widespread in every Dioceses in the whole world including Sabah and Sarawak Catholic Dioceses.
Ordained as one of the usage of Roman Rite by Pope St.Pius V in 1570, Traditional Latin Mass is made in perpetuity could be celebrated for all ages without fear by all Catholic priesthood of all ranks and Offices.
Thus,
IOC Movement-SSBC would like to renew our responsibility and desire in our Cause while we are waiting for God who has incarnated in the Lord Jesus Christ; true God and true Man, in this Good News of His Nativity, where the new 'Israel and Judah' the Catholic Church is waiting for her Bridegroom and her Spouse to come as the Messiah that is promised to bring Salvation to all of us.
Have a Blessed Holy Solemn Feast of the Nativity of the Lord Jesus Christ; our Savior and our Lord God.
Christi Caput Ecclesia Corpus Christi et Sponsa Christi
