The Diocese
Posted: 06/19/2020
God is waiting for you at the Church. Though masks and face coverings are mandatory, please do not cover your heart. Come and pray to God with a pure heart. Remember the lockdown has only been “the desert” to strengthen your spiritual life. Thus, you will be starting a new journey with a new promise to live a God-pleasing life and to enlighten the lives of all people with the gifts God has bestowed upon us.
The Church after the pandemic will continue to be the House of God and the Holy sanctuary wherein all will become one in the spirit of divine love. Listening to our heartfelt prayers, God will embrace us all. God expects our hearts to resemble the pure hearts of children to whom the heavenly kingdom belongs.
We are all equal in the eyes of the Almighty. As you enter into the House of God, you will all experience the spiritual transformation. Then, we will witness the miracle in each other’s’ life. It will be the miracle that will lead to change – the change to become Christ-like, to be loving and caring for all but above all, to become guardians of world peace.
The Church after the Pandemic…
God will embrace us all!
