My Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ
I am humbled and honored to be Your Presiding Bishop. But I am not the Leaders of a Church, but a Servant Leader showing the faithful and well as our clergy and laity that both in humility and service we find the true call of Christ. I offer my blessings upon all of you and ask that you indeed pray for me and the Church Universal.
It was Pope Francis, who reminded us on his last days on Earth, that “the resurrection of Jesus is indeed the basis of our hope. For in the light of this event, hope is no longer an illusion. Thanks to Christ — crucified and risen from the dead — hope does not disappoint! “Christ is risen!” These words capture the whole meaning of our existence and the mission of the PCC, for we were not made for death but for life. Easter is the celebration of life! God created us for life and wants the human family to rise again! In his eyes, every life is precious! And for our Church, every day is indeed Easter.
We are a church of second chances, a mission that is called in a new and progressive way to bring God to the people, as well as the lives of those in the margins, the poor, broken, weak, lost, elderly and the sick, those who special needs who in more and more countries are looked upon as people to be discarded. The Progressive Catholic Church is a beacon of HOPE and we are called to serve. Please join me in this holy quest to make the world a better and kinder place.
Yours in Christ,
PB. Joseph
