Der Hayr's Weekly Message

Think about how empty our lives would be without faith and hope to see us through, yes God is in our midst through the good times and the bad. The difficulties in our lives are a reminder of our human limitations and the joys of our lives is a constant reminder that God is with us always.

The Gospel reading for the Eve of the Resurrection from Matthew is a proclamation of certainty from our Risen Lord when He says:
Behold I am with you even until the end of the ages. This is an awesome and glorious manifestation of our Lord’s unending love and mercy for all of His children. He asks only from us that we remain faithful to God.

The Church is in the midst of the most joyous liturgical season of the entire year, not only do we proclaim the Resurrection of Our Lord but this reality of the Resurrected Christ is the foundation upon which the Church proclaims Her Mystical presence as the Kingdom of God here on earth. Today is Nor Giragi ( New Sunday) and once again we proclaim the joy and happiness of the Resurrected Lord & Savior Jesus Christ for we are a people of God and a Church of the living God for through the Resurrection we are a people of life.

CHRIST IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD INDEED HE IS RISEN
BLESSED BE THE GLORIOUS RESURRECTION OF CHRIST !

Please remember the ill and confined in your prayers.
