CELEBRATING EASTER

THE celebration of this greatest Christian holiday of Easter usually affords us Guyanese the opportunity of making merry together, as we indulge in the customary picnicking, kite-flying and other activities in which we forget our differences in a spirit of unity and harmony. 

We should be truly grateful that our history has gifted us with a culture that embodies the three greatest religions of the world, and use this circumstance to enrich our national ethos so that we truly fulfil the motto of our country.
But while I would encourage all my fellow Guyanese to practise their preferred religion, as this has the enormous potential of bringing us together as a community, I posit that the Almighty Creator that we worship at our separate services resides in each of us, and we can do nothing more effective towards our salvation here and in the hereafter than to connect inwardly with Him each day of our lives, as we also need to do in the physical, mental and social spheres, and use His infinite power to enhance and maintain our well-being in every aspect of our living.
This would ensure that, no matter what the circumstances in which we find ourselves, we are always in a position to help ourselves and our fellowmen towards this salvation, which we all seek as the true purpose of our lives. I wish all Guyanese and Happy Holiday!
