Dear Friends,
Water can be threatening and destructive as well as refreshing and life giving. St Paul refers to baptism as the water of death so that in baptism we come out of the waters of death into new life.
At Easter, we are sprinkled with water and are reminded that water introduces us to the death of Jesus and also introduces us to the life that is the gift of His resurrection. Do you believe in the power of the resurrection and the beautiful changes it brings in our lives?

Your pastor

Fr. Lionel Thomas

Dear Friends,

Palm Sunday can help us face the sufferings of life. How we accept suffering will determine our happiness. Happiness in the Scriptures is marked by the contentment that comes with the faith that God is with us. The suffering of Jesus saved us. Our suffering can be redemptive as well, both for us and for those around us. God bless you.

Your pastor,

Father Lionel
