Vicar's Message! - August 2023

FROM THE DESK OF REV NIHAL FERNANDO

Dearly beloved in Christ!

In the month of November, the church invites us to commemorate all the faithful departed. Christians believe that death is not the end of our lives. Death is the beginning of New Life. It is the beginning of eternal life.


Salvation does not lie in the body, but in Christ, who is at his second coming will transform the body of his faithful to be like his glorious body


St. Paul, in his first letter to Thessalonians 4: 14; and 1 Corinthians 15: 22 says; "Just as Jesus died and rose again, so will the Father bring with him those who have died in Jesus. Just as Adam, all men die, so in Christ, all will be made alive." Hence, we have faith in Jesus Christ who said, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, inherit the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world."

Jesus teaches us that in doing the will of his Father, he would never reject anyone who would come to him. God wants all people to be saved and to have eternal life. We all have to remember that while toiling for the building up of this earth, the Christian knows that ultimate citizenship is in heaven.

Salvation does not lie in the body, but in Christ, who is at his second coming will transform the body of his faithful to be like his glorious body.

Salvation does not lie in the body, but in Christ, who is at his second coming will transform the body of his faithful to be like his glorious body.
"May eternal light shine upon them, O Lord, with all your saints forever, for you are rich in mercy. Give them eternal rest, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine on them forever, for you are rich in mercy.

Yours in Christ,
Fr. Nihal Fernando
VICAR
