I deem it my proud privilege to speak to you & greet you through the
new website of Christ the King School, located in the healthy location of
Jagdishpur, Amethi. Overwhelmed with joy, I send my affectionate greetings
& blessings to the Principal, all the staff members-teaching &
non-teaching & all our students on this happy occasion. May it bring
forth added joy to all those who contribute towards this educative,
memorable & effort painstaking. No doubt this is yet another way to
explore the creativity, imagination & communication.
Today, the values of brotherhood, unity, justice, in our present day
society are slowly deteriorating, due to which great challenges are posed
before our lives. These days, the worldly needs & situations before us
may tempt us to take shortcuts. However, one who abides ever against these
challenges proves victorious & successful in life. Perseverance is one
of the secrets of success. If we keep moving towards our goal, never
quitting, we shall eventually reach it, as the School motto: "Lighted to
Lighten" points to each one, specially our students.
Here I want to place on record the selfless & untiring services
rendered by Reverend Father Stephen Manoj D'Souza along with the committed
teaching & non teaching members of the staff & all the co-workers
who unitedly work for the all round growth of the school. The students who
daily cross the portals of this “Temple of Learning” need also to be
congratulated, along with their parents, guardians & well wishers of
Christ the King School. I wish them every success also in their future
endeavors.
Jesus said, “I leave you peace, my peace I give to you.” Indeed, he was
speaking of peace, which the world cannot give. Each individual must find
time to experience that peace, being united with God. When such an
individual who finds inner peace, shares that peace with the other, our
earth will become a holy place to live in. We will, thus, be able to create
a just & humane society where love, brotherhood, peace, justice &
unity would prevail. Then there will be no extremism- ‘athanhwad’,
corruption, bribery, fundamentalism, casteism, injustice & all sorts of
ills prevalent in the present society, which cause unrest, imbalance in
values & above all the absence of brotherhood & unity.
Once again, my message is that every student must rise as high as the sky
to be a good citizen & leader of our beloved country, India.
