In these days of Easter our voices are continually raised in praise. God has redeemed and comforted his people. He has made us strong. He has restored us, given us a dignity far higher than that of our first parents, and we are eager to show we understand our noble rank by our continual praise […]
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!
