Bro. Lalith Perera and the CRL wish all of you a blessed and spirit filled Easter!!

How is Christianity different from all other religions? What does the resurrection of Jesus actually mean to us? Pope Benedict the XVI in his book explains how all religions give its believers a window into the future. Thos who follow would somewhat be given an idea of what the future beholds for them when they live by the principles and commandments of their religion. This is probably is the same approach we have towards Christianity. Is there something more! Well there is! There is a massive difference. In that we are taught that Jesus simply does not give a window into the future. But by His death and resurrection He travelled into the future, built a bridge between life and eternity and Comes back to live in our hearts bring along with Him all the resources of Heaven!! What great news is this for us! This is the power of His resurrection. By conquering death and rising again in Glory Jesus brings the Love, Truth and all the supernatural power of the Father into our hearts!! This power gives us the strength to overcome our fears, problems, addictions and sinful nature! We are not mere travelers who are journeying towards a destiny, but we are children of God, gifted with the power and grace to face this world and its challenges and thereby enter into eternal glory! We are not alone! Jesus – the man from the future itself resides within us!! This is the power of His resurrection!

Quiet Time Retreat - An Experience

As for my personal experience, I was very much moved and touched by this retreat conducted by bro. Lalith Perera and the CRL Team,  because I, as a priest, understood that the most important dimension of prayer is to “listen to what God is talking to me at my own situation in life”. Sometimes I have felt tempted to do things for God that I thought were important instead of listening to God....

And as they were all charismatics, the praise and worship and the participation from the very beginning was very powerful.  Read More >>
