HOLY WEEK AND EASTER

Being in lockdown allows us an opportunity to gather as a family to celebrate Holy Week and Easter.  On this site RE Online - Holy Week Prayers you will find  three PowerPoints, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday,  that you can use to help with remembering the great moment of Christ’s life that gives us such hope and the realisation that God is with us, no matter how dark things may seem.

We can also be in communion with each other through “Mass on line” with Bishop Brian this week.  Holy Week liturgies online

I wish you a happy and holy Easter time.

 

 

Holy Spirit, please encircle me,

Picture1.png

Come hold me safe and secure.

Wrap my mind up with your truth

Guide my thoughts and calm my fears.

Steady my emotions,

Lord that you would guide my feelings,

May I not be overcome by upset.

Sustain my soul,

With vision for the future,

And hope for tomorrow. Amen.

   

SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

Sunday 12 April

Alleluia, Alleluia

EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD

Jesus’ tomb was empty. It had even been cleaned up. The linen burial cloths were folded and rolled up neatly. Everything was left in order and taken care of. Jesus was clearly finished with this grave. No more of this ‘death business’ for him. He left it totally behind, and was fully alive, never to know the sufferings of death again.

Have you ever made a transition in life? Did you ever take a step and know that a part of your former life was totally behind you? What happened? How did you feel? Did you find yourself trying to take care of things or leave things in order in any way? Obviously Mary, Peter and the other disciple were close friends with one another and with Jesus. It is easy to picture the three of them running to the tomb together to be sure of what actually happened.

Who are the Marys and Peters in your life? Have you ever hurried to get to some important place? Have you ever struggled with someone else to figure out what was really happening in an important situation that affected you or a friend of yours? What happened and how did that affect your relationship?
