Retirement in Mindoro

On Sunday, 31st of March 2013

On Easter Sunday the District Apostle visited Santa Maria Congregation in Mindoro. Priest Leonardo Mariano entered into his well deserved retirement. 1987 when our Church in Mindoro was in its founding stage he joined the ministry and soon started serving as a Priest. 25 years of faithful dedication. We wish him a peaceful and healthy retirement.
The Easter service was focusing on CHRIST’S RESURECETION AND OUR PERFECTION. On good Friday Jesus was judged according to the human standards of ignorance and rejection. Jealousy and political calculation were part of it. On Easter it was God’s judgement, overruling man und bringing justice to the sinless life of Christ by the glorious resurrection. Our conviction of faith pulls us upward from the earthly and thus in the spirit already today we experience a kind of ”resurrection” and “transformation”. The law of Grace will finally bring us Christ and the holiness and blessedness to partake in the first resurrection.
