DIRECTRESS'S MESSAGE

Dear Friend,

Our Lenten journey in 2021 became uniquely special because of the pandemic and its impact on Christian consciousness. Thankfully, by God’s generous providence, we have entered into this Easter Season with a spirit of renewed hope and reverent peace, even though we have had to face many challenges that accompanied it.

Reflecting on Jesus Christ laying down his life on the cross as a ransom to save humanity from sin, we realise that his mission did not end there. Through a reminder of his glorious resurrection, he continues to command us to profess our faith in him and his word. All over the world, the living Church of Christ Jesus on a mission, witnesses God’s victorious Salvation Plan echoing the angel’s message to the women who went seeking for him at the tomb: “Do not be afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised… Come, see the place where he lay” (Mt 28:5-6).

Let us be encouraged like our Holy Father to attest that: “The message which Christians bring to the world is this: Jesus, Love incarnate, died on the cross for our sins, but God the Father raised him and made him the Lord of life and death. In Jesus, love has triumphed over hatred, mercy over sinfulness, goodness over evil, truth over falsehood, life over death.” (Pope Francis, from Urbi et Orbi message, Easter 2014)

Taking courage in the presence of Christ Jesus uniting us as a CEC Family, let us continue in prayer for one another and for a time of robust-fruitfulness for our mission.

With my love and prayerful wishes for you and your family during this season of great rejoicing
