When Jesus asked that we be perfect like the heavenly Father, he was referring to the compassionate love of God given to all, both to saints and sinners. By perfect, Jesus did not mean we should be flawless and faultless. The possibility of us becoming such is as real as the sun rising in the west.
Jesus is handing to us the key to the door of a fruitful and meaningful Christian life. The key is the care we give to the soil, which is nothing more than the human heart. The process of caring is an important aspect of our humanity. For the seed to bear multitudinous fruits, we need, first and foremost, to learn how to care.
Whether we are only half-weary or almost wiped out or totally tired and burdened, the great invitation of Jesus continues to echo in our heart: Come to me and I will give you rest. In me you will find rest. You don’t need to prove yourselves worthy. I love you in spite of and even in your unworthiness. I have made you worthy. Stay with me even for a short while and I guarantee that you will be renewed and regain your strength.
The Pastoral Council of the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice (PPC) carries on its second year of implementing the Three-Year Master Plan formulated in 2006 with the vision that being a parish is not merely a one-time moment but a process.
The Worship Ministry is a happy collaboration of varied personalities who have chosen to take up the call to be servant leaders and assume various roles to serve the Church. Sometimes the tasks are daunting, but hurdling this challenge brings about a personal transformation and a sublime sense of spiritual gratification that Ministry members experience.
