Shepherd's Voice

Dear Sisters and Brothers, Peace of Risen Christ!

We are different and diverted in many ways in terms of culture, econom-ical and social background, race and language. It is the body of Christ that makes us to be united as one family through our faith. We all come together to express our deepest love and faithfulness to Christ as He perfectly reveals His love at every Holy Mass. There is no duplicity in His expression of His love, there is no excuse in fulfilling His faithfulness to us all. He is present not just habitually but truly and fully present among us and within us. If Christ is not present within us and among us, we may not come together as a Catholic community. Christ unites us and bonds our relationship with one another. If we can make a sincere expression of our love for Christ and faithfulness in our relationship with Christ, certainly we are another Christ; we move with the spirit of Christ. If we are not sincere in our commitment of love for Christ, we are lost in our-selves, and so we may express our selfish or some other sinful ways.

We, St. Martin of Tours Parish are so blessed to have so many faithful Parishioners who express their love for Christ through so many ways as serving and helping many committees and groups of our Parish, helping the kids who long to grow in faith, reaching out to so many poor people in our community and by bringing back the spirit of faith in our Parish. There by we express our sincere love for Christ, which is so beautiful and super flowing with care and charity for each other. Let us continue our mission of loving Christ in our Parish with all our sacrifices, patience, charity and commitment. Let us not get tired or weak in expressing our love for Christ through St. Martin’s community. It is Christ who binds us together as a Parish.

We are so glad and pray for all our kids who receive the First Holy Com-munion on this Sunday. I appreciate and thank their Parents who contin-ue to be faithful as they made the Promises at the Baptism of their kids and the teachers who helped the kids with great commitment. May the precious Body and Blood of Christ fill our kids with love and charity!

To be the witness for His love, Fr. Jegan.
