PEACE FOR THE WORLD

14/05/2026

May the light of Christ shine on you always and in your 40th presbyteral anniversary, as you continue to lead, guide, and serve God’s people with the same faithful heart you have carried for four decades. Just as He promised, may you be strengthened with every step, filled with wisdom and compassion, and blessed with good health and joy as you walk in the path He has set before you. You are indeed a chosen vessel and a faithful shepherd, and may the Lord multiply His grace upon you, your ministry, and all the lives you touch now and in the years to come.

And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. — Jeremiah 3:15

The Light That Overcomes the Dark
A Reflection for the Easter Vigil
Tonight is a night unlike any other. We gather in the quiet darkness, a darkness that feels heavy, much like the darkness the disciples felt on that first Holy Saturday. It is a darkness of waiting, of uncertainty, and of grief.

But then, something miraculous happens. A single flame is lit. From that one small spark, the Paschal Candle is kindled, and slowly, light spreads through the room, passing from one candle to another until the darkness is chased away entirely.

Light in the Darkness
This moment speaks a powerful truth: Light is stronger than darkness.
For centuries, humanity walked in the shadow of sin and death. But tonight, that chain is broken. The light we carry represents Jesus Christ—"the Light of the World." He is not just a spark; He is the blazing sun that rises never to set again.

When we process with this light, singing "Christ our Light", we are reminded that no matter how dark our personal struggles, our fears, or our world may seem, God has already won the victory. The tomb could not hold Him. Death could not defeat Him.

New Life and New Beginnings
The Easter Vigil is also called the "Mother of All Vigils" because tonight, we remember who we are. We hear the story of salvation, from the very beginning until now. We remember that we were once in darkness, but now we have been called into His marvelous light.

Tonight, we renew our baptismal promises. We reject evil and profess our faith. We are reminded that through Christ, we are made new. The old life is gone; a new chapter has begun. Just as Christ rose from the dead, He invites us to rise with Him—to leave our sins, our worries, and our past failures in the tomb, and to walk forward in freedom and joy.

Carry the Light
As we leave this celebration tonight, we do not leave the light behind. We carry it within us.

The challenge for us is simple Be the light.
In a world that often feels dark and divided, let us be the ones who bring warmth, hope, and peace. Let us show others that Jesus is alive, not just with our words, but with the way we love and live.
