Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar is urg­ing cit­i­zens to let the cru­ci­fix­ion of Je­sus Christ in­spire them to self­less­ly love each oth­er.

In her Good Fri­day mes­sage, Per­sad-Bisses­sar said , "To­day as our Chris­t­ian com­mu­ni­ty ob­serves the foun­da­tion of its faith, God’s ul­ti­mate sac­ri­fice to save hu­man­i­ty through the cru­ci­fix­ion of Je­sus Christ, I of­fer my solemn wish­es for a blessed day of prayer­ful re­flec­tion and spir­i­tu­al re­ju­ve­na­tion.

"As we re­flect on the pas­sion of Je­sus Christ, His self­less jour­ney of courage from be­ing be­trayed, false­ly ac­cused, scourged and cru­ci­fied, we are called to ac­knowl­edge what can on­ly be de­scribed as the ul­ti­mate show of love for hu­man­i­ty.

"As a na­tion and as a unit­ed peo­ple, the cru­ci­fix­ion of Je­sus must in­spire us through His per­fect ex­am­ple of self­less love to re­new good­ness in our coun­try."

She said the les­son of Good Fri­day re­minds us that not on­ly did God sac­ri­fice his on­ly Son, but Je­sus will­ing­ly ac­cept­ed the agony of the cross so that the will of God could be ful­filled to save hu­man­i­ty.

As a peo­ple, we are called to demon­strate self­less love to break down the bar­ri­ers of di­vi­sion, re­sent­ment, and dis­uni­ty to save a na­tion fac­ing grave dif­fi­cul­ties as nev­er seen be­fore.

Per­sad-Bisses­sar said as a coun­try, we can­not aban­don those bur­dened by the ris­ing crime, the ris­ing cost of liv­ing, pover­ty and hope­less­ness.

She said peo­ple are called to be self­less, by putting the in­ter­ests of those vul­ner­a­ble cit­i­zens and the in­ter­est of restor­ing good­will in the na­tion above self-gain.

Per­sad-Bisses­sar said this Good Fri­day as cit­i­zens re­flect on how they can all pos­i­tive­ly im­pact the na­tion, to re­mem­ber that the on­ly way they can re­flect God's will, es­pe­cial­ly those in au­thor­i­ty, was by en­sur­ing that the na­tion fa­cil­i­tates equal op­por­tu­ni­ty, safe­ty, and pros­per­i­ty for all.

She com­mend­ed all those who would have un­der­tak­en their Lenten fast not on­ly spir­i­tu­al­ly but by acts of char­i­ty and she im­plored all cit­i­zens to repli­cate such kind­ness as they worked to­wards a brighter fu­ture.

"May God bless our na­tion," Per­sad-Bisses­sar said.
