Deacon John Writes:
Well, Easter has arrived. We should remember that Easter is not a one day wonder! Easter is a whole season and we are an Easter people! Alleluia. Alleluia. In these disturbing times we may well have some extra time on our hands but they need not be idle hands. We may feel the weight of the world upon us but we have Scripture to help us and there are a variety of resources on offer through radio, television and the internet. This last week, for instance, Tessa and I enjoyed watching Joseph and his Technicolour Dream Coat on the internet. This was put on as a special due to the virus and there are many other ‘specials’ there for us. I know there are daily masses on the internet from Sacred Heart Church, Hove and from St. Mary of the Angels in Worthing. Various radio stations carry Sunday Mass from Ireland. We can all remember that, no matter what the trials of this virus bring to us, Jesus secured victory for us and we must live our lives with Easter joy in our hearts and deepen our relationship with God and with one another. Alleluia! Happy Eastertide to you all.
