The church unites christians as one family in Christ. The Christians of St. Augustine's Cathedral parish celebrated the 6th Sunday after easter today by reflecting on the events that took place after the ascension of Jesus Christ and the coming of the holy spirit. The vicar general Fr. Joseph Ekalimon said that Jesus is the head of the church and thus Christ has instructed Christians to continue with his mission here on earth.
Fr. Ekalimon mentioned on the five events that took place after Jesus ascension and asked the faithfuls to reflect upon . He gave them the example where Jesus appeared to his disciples on the road to Emmaus, and experiences of the locked room where Christ appeared and said peace be with you. Fr. Joseph said that in the manner of the beatitudes, Christ gave his disciples the instructions that will lead them and hopes that Christians follow them. The third reflection is the ascension and the second coming of Christ where God unites the faithfuls with the heaven and earth.
Fr. Joseph also mentioned on the importance of faith in Jesus Christ and emphasized on the sacraments which strengthens Christians in their lives. He said that the mission of Christians is to continue spreading the gospel to all who do not know him and make them his disciples. Fr. Joseph encouraged the faithfuls to make a difference in their lives for Christ is with them always. For In the church they are one family united in Christ.
