Dear Parishioners,
It is good to be able to greet you on this Holy Saturday, the very cusp of our Easter celebration, with the Newsletter and Readings for Holy Mass on Easter Sunday.
May every joy and blessing of this most sacred time of the year be yours in abundance !
With an assurance of daily prayerful remembrance of yourselves and those you hold dear, together with kindest thought and affection.
As ever, Fr. Nicholas
A Resurrection Prayer
Christ our life,
You are alive – in the beauty of the earth
in the rhythm of the seasons
in the mystery of time and space
Alleluia
Christ our life,
You are alive – in the tenderness of touch
in the heartbeat of intimacy
in the insights of solitude
Alleluia
Christ our life,
You are alive – in the creative possibility
of the dullest conversation
of the dreariest task
the most threatening event
Alleluia
Christ our life,
You are alive – to offer re-creation
to every unhealed hurt
to every deadened place
to every damaged heart
Alleluia.
You set before us a great choice.
Therefore we choose life.
The dance of resurrection soars and
surges through the whole creation,
This is grace, dying we live.
So let us live.
Amen.
