FROM THE CHAPLAIN

Greetings to you my dearly beloved students and parishioners.  I deem it necessary to write and  check on you to know how you and your families are faring and at the same time to encourage you all in this trying moment in the history of our church, the country and the world at large. I hope and  believe you all had a safe journey to your various destinations. We thank God for the journey mercies he granted you, may his name be praised both now and forever. I  encourage you all to keep the flame of the faith alive, do not give up on God be  consoled by these words of St. Paul in his letter to the   Romans 8:18 "I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory which is to be revealed to us".  Alway remember that " this too shalll pass away ". While we hope and trust in God I wish to remind you of  the following:         
               


                        1. We need to be serious with our prayer life. Pray always, say your morning, evening and night prayers as an individual and family always, make the Holy Rosary your favorite individual and family prayer.                                 2. Read the Holy Bible always especially the readings of the day.                     3. Maintain good hygiene always especially washing of hands and Observing social distancing.                         4. Avoid  populated and crowdy environs.                                  5. Let's always be on the side of the law. Health   workers, civic authorities and church leaders have given us guidelines on what to do at this time, follow them religiously
6. For those of you living in places that masses have been suspended, you can attend mass online or by tunning to EWTN, LUMEN CHRISTI or AIT for daily Masses. As you watch on TV , you can have spiritual communion.( google for the prayers for spiritual communion if you don't have)
7. Please stay at home. Avoid unnecessary movement.
9. Read novels, your handouts, text books and your favorites book. Keep your self busy.
8.God does not give us everything we want, but he does fulfill His promises leading us along the best and straightest paths . God is with us always and as He promised us (Mathew 28:20); as such we shall all emerge victorious. Please keep safe, remember that prevention is better than cure. You are in my thoughts and prayers always.
Rev. Fr. Solomon Patrick Zaku, Chaplain Unimaid.
