Dear Brethren in Christ,
Celebrate Life, Joy, Hope, and Redemption! Rise with Christ!
The death and Resurrection of Jesus taught us the meaning of selflessness and compassion. He died and saved the sinners.
Christ’s triumph over death is the most conclusive proof of His Divinity and the foundation of our faith.
His resurrection defeated death and sin and offered hope and new life to faithful believers.
We will celebrate this season of salvation with joy associated with Christ’s Resurrection.
We must get rid of selfishness, greed, and ego that destroy the Creation.
Let us heed the call of the poor, powerless, and marginalized. Let us stand and speak for truth and social justice, especially in this era where misinformation and falsehood have almost become the language of society. Let us be the inspiration for the discriminated and disenfranchised to pursue their dreams. Let our solidarity be the warmth and comfort of those in the sufferings of wars, climate disasters, and tyranny.
We are told to be Stewards and taught to value life and fraternity. We must redeem those in ourselves to be worthy to celebrate the Sunday of Resurrection.
JESUS IS RISEN, and OUR HOPE TOO!
The Most Reverend Pedro P. Fenis, Jr.
