Easter Greetings:-
Dear Church Family,
A very Happy and Blessed Easter.
Yes, despite all that happened on Good Friday, THE LORD IS RISEN ALLELUIA.
Brothers and Sisters (Ndugu), it is important to note that "the Human Capacity for festivity arises from the ability to affirm all creation as good (recall the first reading for the Easter vigil Mass "And God saw that all was Very good". It arises from the ability to embrace in one resounding "YES" the length and bradth, the heights and depths of our experience in this World. What did you say "yest" to during Lent? What is our "yes" for at this very Moment? What will our "Yes" be for, in the future? We have a commitment to be an Easter People. Let us Rise with Christ Alleluia. HAPPY EASTER.
