Happy Easter, Everyone!
May heaven be praised, may God be adored.
Everything is changed for I have seen the Lord!
First of all, a big welcome to any visitors to the Church today to celebrate this great event of Easter. Everything is indeed changed, particularly our understanding of ourselves and of our future.
What a joy it has been – so far(!) – to celebrate Easter here at St. John Fisher. We have been able to journey with the Lord on a Way that led him through suffering and death to joy and new life. That journey also describes our path and our calling through difficulties, through suffering and yes, through death to joys and to new life. We place therefore with Him.
Let me thank everyone involved: The stewards, the readers, the cleaners, the altar servers, the sacristans, those who have led the Stations of the Cross, those in the music ministry, those who produced our Easter Garden, and of course those responsible for the wonderful floral display.
I also offer my personal thanks for your Easter offering, your gift to me.
