First Sunday after Easter AD 2026

Jesus calls His disciples to bear witness to Him and share the message of salvation with the world. The Church is not a social group but God’s instrument, belonging to the Lord and sent to proclaim His unchanging truth. As a congregation, believers are called out of sin and gathered together as one body—no one can live the Christian life alone. The Church is like a family, where members support one another rather than abandon each other, following Christ’s example of patience and mercy. Through the parish, God continues to care for His people by giving His Word, the sacraments, forgiveness of sins, and many blessings. All of this is part of the rich grace entrusted to the Church, which believers are called to receive with gratitude and share with others, so that all may come to eternal life in Christ.
