Vicar's Message! - May 2025

FROM THE DESK OF REV NIHAL FERNANDO

Dearly beloved in Christ,

As we journey together in faith, we are reminded that renewal in Christ is not a one-time event but a daily call — a call to deepen our relationship with Him and to allow His life to flourish within us. True renewal comes when we are firmly rooted in the Word of God. It is through Scripture that we encounter Christ, hear His voice and are transformed by His truth.


"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Ephesians 2: 10


Today, more than ever, Sri Lanka needs believers who are grounded in the Word and courageous in sharing it. Gospel poverty — the lack of access to the life-giving message of Jesus — is a reality we must urgently address. As disciples, we are called not only to know the Word but also to proclaim it boldly, nurturing faith where it is weak, and planting seeds of hope where hearts are barren.

Let us commit ourselves anew to Christ:
By immersing ourselves daily in Scripture
By living out the Gospel with authenticity and joy
By actively sharing the Good News with those around us

Together, may we be instruments of renewal, bringing the light of Christ into every corner of our beloved Sri Lanka.

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." (Psalm 119: 105)

In Christ's love,
Fr. Nihal Fernando
VICAR
