I’m a fan of modernity, but only in moderation. Within you is the light of a thousand suns.

The best form of secularism is one that houses religion, the best form of religion, is one that houses secularism.

Time’s always moving on. Nothing can stop it. The question is whether we use our time well or not. We can’t do anything about the past, but what happens in the future depends on what we do now. We can create a happier future by remembering that in being human we are all the same.

The missionaries are always first to arrive for recreational cause of human development. Humanitarian work, one that is volunteer, should always feel recreational. We are too much ourselves and selfish, humanitarian work makes us selfless, gives us opportunity to live outside ourselves.

To facilitate this process is socially say, development, and spiritually say, enlightenment. The exchange of dialogues is always good, but on what terms, that willingness shows. So church always preaches safety first and progress alongside. It means there are walls of false religion, banging your head against which, you might lose your own faith and become hopeless. Just change the direction. See the houses of God that always put women first.

Let us begin the year in the sign of Our Lady, the woman who wove the humanity of God. The rebirth of humanity began with woman. If we want to weave humanity into the webs of our day, we must begin again with woman. In the womb of a woman, God and mankind are united, never to be separated again. In God, there will forever be our humanity and Mary will forever be the Mother of God. Today we invoke the Mother of God, who gathers us together as a people of believers. O Mother, give birth to hope within us and bring us unity. Woman of salvation, to you we entrust this year. Keep it in your heart.

It looks like God sent an angel, to create an excuse, that the foundation stone of new year is laid with message of the women and her sacredness. So what happens doesn’t matter, what matters is the messages came out and with significance. God works in mysterious ways. All that happens happens for good. Christanity to me, is about humility. I don’t think religion belongs to one political party. The sum of everything, is that it is within our desires to contribute, that we make things happen.

New day’s celebration ceremony held at the Imperial Palace, and prayed for the health of the Emperor and Empress and the Majesty of the Imperial Family. I sincerely hope that the year of Reiwa will be a wonderful year for all of you and for Japan.
