Father Anton's Weekly Column

This Sunday is “Evangelii Gaudiem Day” or “The Joy of the Gospel.” The word Gospel, itself means Good News! Jesus gave the news of redemption to his disciples, the good news of the salvation of the world and it was to be done through the love of him, our saviour. Sometimes I think the world’s population only see the gospel as a burden upon their back, restricting them of their freedom, when it is trying to do exactly the opposite and give us true freedom, especially that of mind heart and soul.
