Pres­i­dent Chris­tine Kan­ga­loo is call­ing on cit­i­zens this Cor­pus Christi to "be mind­ful of the seeds we sow, and of the things we elect to plant in our lives. "

Her mes­sage harks on the Cor­pus Christi tra­di­tion of plant­i­ng on the hol­i­day.

She said it is par­tic­u­lar­ly im­por­tant to re­mem­ber these qual­i­ties in times of dif­fi­cul­ty.

"May we choose to en­gage in self-af­firm­ing and life-giv­ing pur­suits. May we choose to im­i­tate Christ’s qual­i­ties of love, for­give­ness and sac­ri­fice," the Pres­i­dent said in her mes­sage.

Kan­ga­loo said those who do that, "can be con­fi­dent of a boun­ti­ful har­vest, both in our in­di­vid­ual lives and in the wider so­ci­ety."

Cor­pus Christi is the cel­e­bra­tion of the body and blood of Je­sus Christ in the Holy Eu­charist.
