I JOIN the entire Christian world in celebrating a joyful and meaningful Easter Sunday of the Lord’s Resurrection.
The triumph of the risen Christ presents us all with hopeful assurance that, even as we face adversities, there is always hope of better and new beginnings. In this time of renewal, we are reminded of the grace that comes from selfless love that is able to transcend diverse cultures, faiths, backgrounds and even circumstances.
May this occasion fill us with gladness and enable us to find solace and strength in the narrative of the Resurrection. I trust that its message of forgiveness will inspire us to live our days with gratitude and humility, with further acts of kindness and charity to our families, friends and to those who are most in need.
Let this day bring us all profound happiness and purpose as we join hands in shaping a better and brighter future for the entire nation. Happy Easter to all of you!
