He must have all the praise.” The prelate’s special message to the students was: “Be careful about people pushing their evil agendas. Don’t be fl attered by people who want to divert you. Be satisfi ed with what you are. Don’t ruin your life by taking drugs, alcohol or cigarettes. Trust in God. Have a personal relationship with Jesus.”
