We have to thank our Almighty God for guiding and protecting us throughout the first two months of 2022. The past two months made some difficulties and tensions in some of our parishioners' life, who are infected and affected with Covid. Some have gone through grief in connection with their dear one's demise. Some of us are struggling and experiencing stress in their jobs and daily life. In the midst of these challenges, our Almighty God is enlightening our hearts and minds through our faith in Jesus Christ and through the communion and abiding presence of the Holy Spirit.

As we entered into another Great Lent season from February last day onwards, which should be a time to meditate our life and faith, and understanding and acknowledge the role and influence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Every lent period starts and focused on the theme “ Transformation”, which is the core aim of our faith journey. We are called to observe and demonstrate the commandments of God and the teachings of Christ, and the Holy Spirit is helping us to implement those in our day-to-day life.

The world which we are living is polluted with the selfish nature of the human beings that brought imbalances to the livelihood of nature and losing the humanitarian values, which is affecting badly in our present generation. The war, poverty, corruption, inequality, discrimination, and moral degradation is making disturbances and fake identities, so that the youths of this age are losing an apt role model to follow in their future footsteps. In this time, the Church and its members has the responsibility and mission to teach the life of Christ , which transforms every heart, shows the fullness of life, and envisioned the greatness of HIS kingdom.

May the resurrected Christ, who delivered us from the hands of hell through His death on the cross, help us to open our inner eyes and ears and portray His words in our approaches to life. May God bless us all.
