Luke 24: 1-8

“But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb;
but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them.
They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living one among the dead?
He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee,
that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day.”
And they remembered his words.”

I take this opportunity to wish every member and lay associate the fullest blessings of the Easter Season: those serving in parish ministry; those in our retirement homes; those in missionary animation work; those serving the mission through administration; those serving the mission through leadership.

May this Easter renew your faith and commitment to God’s mission, as entrusted to us in the Society of African Missions.
