Thanking God for the life and service of Bishop Inayat Masih
We give thanks to God for the faithful life and ministry of Bishop Inayat Masih, our 7th Bishop of the Diocese of Lahore and the first local Bishop to serve Lahore Diocese. Bishop Inayat led the church with humility, pastoral care, and a deep commitment to Christian witness in Pakistan.
We are grateful for his years of devotion: teaching, pastoring, building community programs, and strengthening the church’s presence across the diocese. Though he now rests with the Lord, his life of service remains an inspiration to clergy and laity alike.
Please join us in thanksgiving for his faithful ministry and in prayer for comfort for his family and all who mourn his passing. May his example continue to encourage us to serve Christ and our neighbors with the same love and dedication.

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

O Lord of all comfort and healer of every illness,
We lift before You our sister in leadership, Her Excellency Maryam Nawaz Sharif, Chief Minister of Punjab. By Your boundless mercy, may your healing touch her, strengthen her in body and spirit. Grant wisdom to the entire family and those who care for her.
Lord Jesus, You healed the sick with compassion and authority. We remember the words of the Gospel: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). May this promise be comfort for everyone.
We thank You, Father, that no condition is beyond Your power. May this time of recovery be quick, may health be fully restored, and may her life continue to serve the common good. Let this blessing flow to all who suffer in sickness here and beyond, that Your mercy may be known through every act of care.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

🌸 Happy Mother's Day! The Church: Our Nurturing Mother 🌸

On this special Mother's Day, we celebrate the selfless love of mothers everywhere. But we also honor the Church, our spiritual mother, who nourishes, protects, and guides us just as a mother does to her children.
In the Bible, Isaiah 66:13 beautifully captures this: "As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you." The Church embodies this promise, feeding us with God's Word, sustaining us through trials, and helping us grow into maturity.
The Apostle Paul lived this out with the Thessalonian church, saying: "We were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children... We dealt with each of you like a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting, and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory"
(1 Thessalonians 2:7, 11-12, ESV). Paul poured himself out, nurturing them tenderly so they could thrive.
We must grow in the Church, in hard times and good times, in happiness and sadness. Through every season, our faithful growth glorifies the name of the Lord and strengthens our family of faith.
This Mother's Day, thank God for His Church, our mother. Let's commit to nurturing one another as we grow together

Labour Day Message: Rest in the Lord!

Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,

The Word of God declares we are laborers in His field: "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow" (1 Corinthians 3:6). On Labour Day, recommit to your vows care deeply for our toiling laborers among us, easing their burdens as Christ commands.
Jesus Himself invites: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). This is our Gospel call: Lead weary souls to Him for true spiritual freedom and everlasting rest!
