Happy 2023 Easter!
As we move into this Holy Week, starting with Palm Sunday and ending with Resurrection Sunday, I hope all of you will remember and reflect upon famous biblical text like, “An Angel roll the stone Away”, “He rose again from the dead or “He is Alive”! These recitations remind us of Jesus resurrection from the death. Let this 2023 Easter festivity, a season to rejoice and be thankful for our journey in life. Let us therefore reflect upon the passion of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, who was crucified on the cross to liberate us from sin. I sincerely hope that this easter festivity will bring you hope, faith, and joy as you celebrate the dead and resurrection of Jesus Christ with your families and friends.
Let us remember and pray for the sick, disable and inmates who are not able to join us with our Easter celebrations!
May this 2023 Easter Festivity fill your hearts with new hope, peace, and love as we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. Let us resume after the festivity with new hope and envision a prosperous future!
