☦️ The Journey of Service: Entering the Apostles’ Fast ☦️
​As we exit the joyous season of the Holy Fifty days after Pentecost, we enter into the Apostles’ Fast—the oldest fast in the Christian Church, dating right back to the New Testament.
​Why do we fast during this season?
​✨ Following the Example of the Apostles: Before the disciples set out to preach the Gospel to the four corners of the earth, they immediately turned to prayer and fasting to seek divine guidance, strength, and protection.
​"Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away." (Acts 13:3)
​✨ Our Own Missionary Call: This fast reminds us that we are all called to be apostles in our daily lives. Through prayer and self-restraint, we ask God for the spiritual strength and missionary zeal needed to share His love with the world around us.
​✨ Spiritual Balance: After weeks of celebration, this season invites us back to a beautiful balance of spiritual discipline, grounding our souls and renewing our commitment to Christ.
​Let us embrace this blessed season together with a spirit of devotion, repentance, and love.
Blessed Fast to everyone.

"My Lord and my God!"
​On this first Sunday after the Resurrection, we commemorate the Apostle Thomas’s encounter with the Risen Christ. His moment of doubt turned into a powerful witness for all generations, reminding us that Christ meets us in our uncertainty to bring us into His light.
​As the Lord said to him:
"Jesus said to him, 'Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'" — John 20:29
​May the peace of the Lord fill your hearts and homes. Truly He is risen!
