Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Agnes, a young martyr whose life shines with courage, purity of heart, and unwavering love for Christ. Though she was very young, Agnes chose faithfulness over fear and trust over compromise. Her strength did not come from power or status, but from a heart deeply rooted in God.
Saint Agnes reminds us that holiness is not about age or ability, but about belonging completely to the Lord. In a world that often pressures us to conform, her witness encourages us to stand firm in our values, to protect the dignity God has given us, and to live our faith with simplicity and courage.
May Saint Agnes inspire our young people to be brave in their faith, our families to grow in love and fidelity, and all of us to follow Christ with joyful conviction.
Through her intercession, may our parish be renewed in faith, hope, and love.
Saint Agnes pray for us,
Fr. Lijoy Jose, OFM Cap.

Weekly Message
Baptism of the Lord: Called to Be Light Come and pray with me: a simple but daring invitation to faith life. The heart of Christian discipleship is a simple and loving invitation: “Come and see.” When John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and proclaimed, “Behold, the Lamb of God,” he was not giving a long explanation—he was inviting others to encounter Christ for themselves. We naturally recommend good restaurants, doctors, or places that have enriched our lives. Yet at times, we hesitate to invite others to encounter Christ and to share in the life of our Church. This hesitation gently invites us to reflect on our own experience: How alive is our relationship with Christ? How meaningful has our parish community been for us? Our invitation does not need to be complicated. Sometimes it is as simple as saying: Come and pray with me. Come to confession. Come and receive the Eucharist. These moments are not obligations, but encounters with the living Lord who heals, forgives, and nourishes us. Witnessing to Christ is not about pressure or persuasion; it is about sharing what has given our lives meaning. May our faith be lived with sincerity and joy, so that through our words and our example, others may be drawn to come and see the Lamb of God at work among us. In Christ, |
