A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ

Easter Sunday

The resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, signifying the fulfillment of God’s plan of redemption and offering believers the promise of eternal life.

victory of light over darkness, life over death

It is a day of immense joy and hope, as Christians celebrate the victory of light over darkness, life over death, and the triumph of God’s love for humanity. Easter Sunday is a profound reminder of the transformative power of faith and the enduring message of hope that resonates throughout the ages. This momentous discovery was accompanied by the appearance of angels who proclaimed the astounding news:

“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said: (Matthew 28:6).

Overwhelmed with awe and wonder, the women rushed to share the incredible news with the disciples. Meanwhile, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene near the tomb, and later to other followers, including two disciples on the road to Emmaus and to the gathered disciples in Jerusalem.

Joyful Celebration

Redemption & The Promise of Eternal Life

Easter is considered the most important and joyful celebration in the Christian liturgical calendar. It is a time for Christians to reflect on the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice and the promise of eternal life. The resurrection is a central doctrine of Christianity, emphasizing the hope and redemption offered through faith in Jesus Christ.

May you all have a Happy Easter.

Divine Mercy Sunday – next week

Next weekend we are going to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. We have planned a special Mass and information session. Please, make good use of it. Divine Mercy is a central theme in Christian theology, reflecting God’s compassionate love and forgiveness towards humanity. It is the manifestation of God’s grace, offering redemption and salvation to sinners. The concept of Divine Mercy is deeply rooted in the Scriptures, where God’s merciful nature is consistently revealed.

Let us all come together and worship together.

With lots of love and blessings.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
