Dear Friends,
The Easter celebrations this year has an added significance as we are in the Holy Year 2025 with its theme “Pilgrims of Hope.” Resurrection is the guarantee of the hope of our own resurrection. Searching for Christ’s body, the disciples were told: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” (Matthew 28:6). Then, he appeared to so many! He is alive! He is risen! He is with us! He is our light and hope! Let us truly believe that we are children of the light (1 Thessalonians 5:5).
I invite us all to attend our Holy Week services and celebrate the good news of the Resurrection!
Happy Easter!
Fr. Abraham
