His lordship said this today when celebration Monday staff mass at St. Thomas Chapel. His lordship emphasized on the unity of Christians especially for those who are baptized catholics and receive the holy communion which is supposed to bring love and unity of Christ. He also challenged the staffs to take time and prepare themselves before receiving the holy communion and thank God for that sacrament after receiving it. Bishop informed them that the best time to request for anything from God is after the receiving the holy communion since Christ is within them that particular time in a special way. His lordship said that the Eucharist is holy and requires one to meet some requirements like for catholics, being baptized Catholic and also meeting all the other sacraments like confirmation.
