INTRODUCTION
We welcome you to the month of February, it is our heart desire
that you experience exceptional love and peace and be inspired to promote same
for a better society. We wish you a pleasant feast of St. Valentine come 14th
February; we encourage you to pray for the Love of Christ to grow in the heart
of every man and woman. This month also ushers in the Lenten season which
begins on the Ash Wednesday 10th of Feb. 2016. It is a season of
spiritual cleansing and renewal, it prepares us for Easter, the greatest feast
of the liturgical year. The most important thing that can happen to us during
lent is that our friendship with God, our personal knowledge of God’s love for
us would be strengthened. We are to seek ways to reconcile our relationship
with God and draw closer to Him, through prayer,
fasting and almsgiving. The
special invitation is to “Repent and believe the Gospel”. We wish you a
reflective Lenten season.
PRESIDENTS NEW MONTH MESSAGE
I wish to welcome you all to
the month of February, a month of love and special evangelization. In this
month, we are called to show love through evangelizing the world in the
student’s milieu.
The need for evangelization
cannot be over emphasized. God the father in His loving mercy and kindness sent
His SON to redeem the world and reconcile humanity to Him so that no soul would
be lost; this is because of His love for us. So in the missionary and
evangelization progression, Christ mandated His disciples to take the message
to the ends of the earth.
The missionary mandate was not
intended to end with the apostles, it continues from the apostolic era through
the early church, the medieval times to the present day. Besides it is not
intended to end with you and me, it is rather ordained and destined by God to
continue in every generation, so we all are called to be evangelists in this
era of new evangelization.
Finally I wish to appreciate
all YCSers who stood by me during my trying period. God bless you all.
Happy
New Month
