Fr. Jose – Parish Priest

---

Dear family members and friends: “Behold the lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world.” The celebrant raises the Holy Eucharist and repeats this verse in every Holy Mass. John the Baptist introduced Jesus to the world saying this. The Jews had the custom of burdening the lamb with their sins on Yom Kippur and send them into the wilderness to be killed by some wild animals. Here Jesus is the one who carries all the sins and shed His blood in order to save the world. Jesus is the one who is to die for us to take away our sins. Let us go to Him in full faith and be baptised with the Holy Spirit in order to become children of God. Amen.
