THE PRIESTHOOD: GIFT AND SACRIFICE

My dear people of God, this year, I have chosen to reflect with you on the importance of the gift of the priesthood and the role of this gift for the Church and humanity. The role of being a link between the human and divine, between God and his children. It is a welcome opportunity to reflect on the priestly ministry; on Christ’s priesthood and the ministry of participation of the human being in this singular priesthood, which is an epitome of Christ’s love for the Church and for humanity.

In this pastoral letter we shall discuss the priesthood of Jesus Christ which he has graciously shared with humans through the sacrament of Holy Orders. We shall examine this priesthood as a precious gift which like any other good gift calls for grateful acknowledgement and appreciation. This appreciation shows itself in the life and ministry of the priest (recipient of the gift) as a sacrifice in loving response to God for the gift of the priesthood. Without the life of sacrifice, the priesthood becomes incomplete and in fact empty.

EASTER SUNDAY (YEAR B)

With an amazing Paschal joy, the Archbishop Most Rev. Valerian Okeke challenges us to live the resurrection existence by being our brother's keeper. He exhorts that by imitating this loving care of Christ, we share in his triumph over suffering & death for our sake. Thus, he prays that the blessings of Easter be our strength and victory over evil and death. Happy Easter!
