Pres­i­dent Chris­tine Kan­ga­loo, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar and Op­po­si­tion Leader Pene­lope Beck­les all used their Cor­pus Christi mes­sages to urge cit­i­zens to strength­en na­tion­al uni­ty, serve oth­ers and re­flect on the chal­lenges fac­ing Trinidad and To­ba­go.

Pres­i­dent Kan­ga­loo said Cor­pus Christi calls peo­ple to move be­yond wor­ship and al­low their faith to shape how they treat oth­ers and con­tribute to so­ci­ety.

She said the ob­ser­vance re­quires more than re­mem­brance, urg­ing cit­i­zens to let “rev­er­ence be­come ser­vice” and make “the sa­cred vis­i­ble in mer­cy, re­straint and self-giv­ing.”
