REMAIN STEADFAST

To God be glory 

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are all aware of the state of the world on the lockdown due to the virus. To this effect our *public worship* is affected as well. But still I believe we have that permanent mark of Christ by virtue of our baptism of water and the Holy Spirit.

In our baptism we were made *Temple of the Holy Spirit * and so this temple ought to be more active during this lockdown days.

As a family I exhort that you make Christ present and the centre. We've always taught that Church stems from the family to the larger community. It's now for us to help our faith grow even stronger even though we're away from the parishes or oratories.

I remain to remind you today, the Church of Christ is never empty even during this lockdown days. Reason is that in the Church Christ Jesus is present truly , really and substantially in the Most Holy Eucharist. Secondly, Christ is present in the Ordained Minister ( Bishops, Priest and Deacons). Thirdly, Christ is Present in the proclaimed word. Fourthly, he's present in the families of dear Christian faithful at home.

Similarly, where Christ is, there the true Church is, where Christ is, there the Holy Angels are.

As we experience this, I remain yours in the Lord and commending our nation and the whole world to the Mercy of God and to the intercession of Blessed Virgin Mary - Help of the Sick and the Help of Christians.
