Easter Sunday – Sunday, 4th April 2010
...
 

They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” Mary of Magdala said, “and we don’t know where they have put him.” On the first Easter morning there was a sense of excitement among the disciples but it was mixed with anxiety and fear. They didn’t know what was happening but they knew that something was. As we celebrate our Easter we can know exactly what has happened. However we can be so familiar with this wonderful truth that we may have little if any excitement about it. It was not the soldiers who took the body of Jesus from the tomb but rather the power of God. And where God has put Jesus is into our hearts, our minds, our company with one another, above us, below us, all around us. The deepest reality of our lives has been changed forever by what happened today and Jesus is risen and living among us in our homes and in our faith community. We need to attend to him there.

Trócaire – Lenten Campaign:

In recent weeks many people will have made donations in response to the earthquake in Haiti and may feel that they have made their contribution for this year. The silent earthquake in our midst is the scandal of hunger which causes the death of more than five million children under five years of age each year. One billion people are hungry because they don’t have the money to buy food or the resource to produce it in sufficient amounts to feed themselves and their families. Between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday 2010 this silent earthquake will have taken the lives of 600,000 children, more than twice the number who perished in Haiti. Please support Trócaire’s 2010 Lenten Campaign. Bring back you box or make a contribution marked Trócaire at any Sunday Mass.
