Lent II 2023 Transfiguration Gn 12:1-42 Tim 1:8b-10Mt 17:1-9 The Sundays in Lent all tend to Easter. Last Sunday, Temptation Sunday, manifested the dark side of the Paschal Mystery: the fight again the Evil One. This Sunday, Transfiguration Sunday, stresses the luminous side of Easter: Christ bringing our humanity into the full light of God. […]
Easter at Quarr is a good season to learn again that
Flowers open after winter months of apparent death,
Birds sing joyfully as they build new nests for their little ones to come,
Lambs gamble and bleat in the meadows.
Even roads reopen (!) giving access to visitors old and new – all welcome!
Will our hearts open, too,
To make peace after conflicts and wars
To forgive after disputes
To foster every human life from its conception to its natural end,
To bring a smile of hope on all faces around?
“Christ is risen from the dead.”
Happy Easter to you all!
