Paschaltide thanksgiving


Just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. (Rom 6:4)

Easter Blessings

The Resurrection is a cosmic event, which includes heaven and earth and links them together. In the words of the Exsultet, once again we can proclaim: "Christ ... who came back from the dead and shed his peaceful light on all mankind, your 5017 who lives and reigns/or ever and ever". Amen!

(Benedict xvi, Easter Homily, 2006)

Friends,

Happy Easter,

Wishing you all a lovely Easter.

A personal recovery note in Paschaltide thanksgiving.

It was so good of you, for love and prayer in seeing me through Stroke time.

Just for the record, The Stroke Association glossy magazine members keep us Aphasia fellow travelers in all sorts of information. I have learned so much about the needs of Stroke people worse off than I know. It is amazing to see extent of the great caring, support, charities on all sides.

Thank God, since last August, this Good Friday I was privileged to be President of the Liturgy of the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion, Special General Intercessions, Veneration of the Cross, and Communion, (Mass of the Presanctified).

The Sacred Triduum has been blessed by so many visitors and guests attending the ceremonies. We appreciated the number of men and women sharing in the diversity of roles in the liturgical action.

A picture of the cemetery cross looks over Lothian. In site too are the fields in the glory of successfully cultivated the crops.

May you also rejoice in this Easter and blessed by good health this spring and all this year.

In the hope and joy of the Risen Lord,

Donald
