Father's weekly message
April 13, 2025, Palm Sunday
The Holy Week Liturgy consists of great mystery of God’s love for the humanity. During this week, we reflect on God’s plan for our salvation, the passion of Christ, his death on the cross, his glorious resurrection, and the victory over our ancient enemy the devil. So, Let us make every effort to participate in all the liturgies of the Holy Week and tried to experience Christ’s abounding love and mercy. The words of Saints help us to reflect on the beauty and richness of the Holy Week, and draw our attention to the center of the Mystery of Christ which is revealed to us in the Eucharist, on the Cross, and his victory at the empty tomb.
“We give glory to you, Lord, who raised up your cross to span the jaws of death like a bridge by which souls might pass from the region of the dead to the land of the living. ..You are incontestably alive. Your murderers sowed your living body in the earth as farmers sow grain, but it sprang up and yielded an abundant harvest of men raised from the dead.” – Saint Ephrem the Syrian
“The death of the Lord our God should not be a cause of shame for us; rather, it should be our greatest hope, our greatest glory. In taking upon himself the death that he found in us, he has most faithfully promised to give us life in him, such as we cannot have of ourselves.” – St. Augustine
“Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.” – Pope Saint John Paul II
