Happy Easter

HE IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!
It’s not hard for us to share Mary’s sense of emptiness and bewilderment when she arrives at the tomb.
If we were to read the next few verses from John’s Gospel, we would read a story of overwhelming joy as Mary Magdalen meets the risen Jesus. When Jesus speaks her name, Mary recognises him and sadness and emptiness give way to joyful reunion.
It’s a story of transformation – how things can change when we meet the risen Jesus
May you and yours be abundantly blessed this Easter.
Thank you for your continued support!
