A Message From Fr. Jose – 5th April

Fr. Jose - Parish Priest

Fr. Jose – Parish Priest


Dear family members and friends, In today’s entrance Antiphon we sing, “I have risen, and I am with you still.”  This is the message of great hope. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we are called to the joy of a new life, a life of great hope and renewal. In today’s Gospel we are given the narration of the empty tomb which is a reasonable proof of the resurrection of Jesus, which is otherwise hard to believe for many. It is a unique event ever in the history before and after. St. Paul exhorts us to seek the things that are above because our life is one to appear with the risen Jesus in glory. On this Easter, let us remember that we are not simply to be bound to the earthy things, but are to set our minds on things that are above. Amen.

Wish you all a very Happy Easter with all its blessings.
