Wish you the joy and peace of the Easter!

Dear Rev. Fathers and Brothers
"It is true! The Lord has risen"! (Luke 24:34) Alleluia!
Wish you the joy and peace of the Easter!
. "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said." (Matthew 28:6) "For no word from God will ever fail." (Luke 1:37). God has perfect timing never early never late. He has set the right time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:11). It takes a little patience and wait, but it is worth the wait.
. 'Haraka haraka haina baraka'. It is a Swahili saying in Kenya meaning 'HURRY, HURRY HAS NO BLESSINGS'. Let us wait for the Third Day of the Lord. "Be still, and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10). Of course, His Day is only after our two days of waiting with passion.
. And they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" (Mark 16:3). Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. (Matthew 6:8) God will send his angels before you. You are also called to be an angel to those who are in need.
. Yes. You are called to be an Easter presence and good news. "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete". (John 15:11) "You will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." (John 16:22) Lord, give us your joy and your joy alone.
.
May the risen Lord accompany us on our journey to Emmaus of life and surprise us with his breaking of the word and bread!
Happy and Blessed Easter Season!
