Friends in Christ, on this day in which we celebrate the triumph of Christ's cross, the 1st reading and the gospel give us a beautiful allegory of our Christian life. For 40 years the Israelites struggled with sin and temptation. Poisoned by snake bites they only had to look at the serpent mounted on a pole in order to be healed. Similarly, our Christian life from baptism to death is a struggle with sin and temptation. When we sin, we are poisoned. The wages of sin is death scripture tells us. But God our loving Father gives us the same solution He gave our ancestors in faith. All we need to do, is, look at the cross of Jesus, with faith, believe, repent and be healed.

Friends, when we face challenging moments in our lives, rather than grumble, we are called to put our trust in his Holy cross, for through this Holy Cross we are saved and set free. Thank you for your Cross Lord, thank for the sacrifice you made for us. Have mercy on us and the whole world.

Please join me to thank God for Rev Dennis, Rev Andy and Rev Ken who were ordained Permanent Deacons recently. May God bless them, their families and their ministeries

We pray for healing for our brothers and sisters who are sick.

We also pray for our dead - especially Celestine Ho who was buried this week. May God's face shine upon them.
