MESSAGE FROM FR RUSLAN The belief in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity. It is at the heart of the Easter message. The risen Christ has conquered death, and it no longer has power over humanity. Death no longer signals the end, but a new beginning. Life after death exists, and it is a life with God. Our current life on earth is meant to prepare us for the afterlife with God. Easter is not only about the afterlife, but it also carries an essential message for our life on earth. It reminds us that life is precious, and that human life comprises both body and spirit. In our present state, both elements are dependent on each other. Life is only meaningful when we have love. Love gives life its true purpose and meaning. As Christians, we celebrate Easter. It is a time to rejoice and remember that Christ has risen from the dead. Through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, Jesus lives in our hearts and minds. The Holy Spirit is the Lord and giver of all life. In celebrating Easter, we celebrate life and all its fullness. When Christ was raised to new life, the darkness of His death was transformed into the light of eternal life. Jesus, the world's light, shines brightly on this day. Christians all over the world proclaim that Christ has risen from the dead. This is the heart of our faith and its principal mystery. “This day was made by the Lord; we rejoice and are glad.” Today we celebrate and proclaim that: “Christ has died, Christ is risen, and Christ will come again.” With blessings and prayers, Fr Ruslan and PPC Thank you so much for all you support at our Spring Ball, where we managed to raise £12,000!
We serve the local community of Walton-on-Thames, bringing the good news of Christ. Pope Francis has invited us to learn again how to be ‘missionary disciples’, people on a journey, filled with the joy of the Gospel.
We welcome Catholics and non-Catholics alike and all those interested in learning more about our faith. |
