Dear Fellow Brothers and Friends,
In this Easter Season, we would request that individually, we take ample time off our ever- busy life to reflect that we were created freely out of God’s love. An amazing love that filled us with light, love and life.
However, humanity sinned, and we keep on sinning. In our disobedience, we knowingly separated ourselves from the Father’s love causing everyone to fall into darkness and bringing about our death. In his tender love and ....

Mary, my Mother and Protector
In my cherished recollections, Mary, my mother and protector, remains well-remembered. Every year in the months of May and October, a rosary ritual unfolded within our community, where the prayer circulated among households. The joy was palpable as we took turns leading the Hail Mary prayer, each holding a lighted candle. This experience left an indelible mark on me.
As time advanced and especially when I entered the fourth grade, my involvement with the Legion of ....
