United National Congress chairman Jack Warner is appealing to citizens to use the occasion of Easter to reconcile the differences which keep the nation apart. "Where we feel we have been wronged, let us in humility forgive," he said. "Where we feel we have been discriminated against for one reason or another, let us find that love that binds us together as a people.
"Where everything around us seems lost, let us all become that beacon to assist the wayfarer in finding his or her way back home," he said in a message released ahead of Easter celebrations. Warner, who called on the national community to spend some moments in reflection, said the significance of the Easter festivity is the unrequited expression of God's love as manifested by his son Jesus Christ.
He said that redemptive, reconciliatory love demonstrates the type of sacrifice which Trinidad and Tobago needs to emulate. "As we celebrate, my friends, let us be mindful of the truth that in giving and loving as a people we all will survive," Warner said.
"As we celebrate a happy and a holy Easter, let us fill it with a heart of forgiveness and an expression of love that represents the true meaning of God's sacrifice. "On behalf of all the members of the United National Congress, let me wish you a happy and a holy Easter."
