+ 1st January 2026 – Solemnity of the Mother of God Today is the eighth day after Christmas, and Jesus receives His name.Today is also the first day of the civil year and we receive a blessing. We like the blessing of old, the venerable words given by Moses to bless the people 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!
