He said, they have made the Gospel come very much alive in a tangible and edifying way by sacrificing everything to follow Christ. As a community of disciples they learned to be truly humble servants of one another by being Christ-like who did not come to be served but to serve and to give their lives as a ransom of others, inspiring each and every one to the spirit of service. Reception followed at the Savio Dome, Don Bosco Technical Institute, Makati City.
