Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we reflect upon the miracle of the Resurrection, we are reminded of the infinite love and hope that Easter brings to each one of us. Jesus, our Redeemer, conquered death and rose again, filling our lives with renewed faith and purpose. Just as the stone was rolled away from the tomb, so too may the burdens in our lives be lifted by the light of His grace.
The Apostle Peter proclaimed, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3). Let us rejoice in this divine hope, allowing it to guide and uplift us in our daily lives.
As the Parish Priest of Holy Cross Church, Hospet, and the spiritual head of our beloved parish family, I extend my heartfelt wishes for a Happy and Blessed Easter to all our parishioners, both near and far. May the peace of the Risen Lord fill your hearts and homes, bringing you strength, unity, and compassion.
May Christ’s love inspire us to walk in His light, to support each other in times of need, and to spread kindness wherever we go.
Happy Easter! May the blessings of our Lord be with you always.
Happy & Blessed Easter to you all!
Rev. Fr Gregory D'Souza
