“…The Angel said to the women: “Fear not you – for I know that you seek Jesus Who was Crucified. He is not here…He is risen, as He said.” (Matthew 28:5-6)

Comment:
Our Blogger, Margaret USA, asked me to post this commentary of Bishop Schneider about the fire at Notre Dame – I’d just placed a headline in our forthcoming May newsletter about the fire at Notre Dame being a metaphor for the destruction (humanly speaking) of the Church when it arrived in my inbox, so it was well timed. Those of our newsletter readers who are not online will draw some comfort from it, no doubt. What about you?

Trusting that everyone has enjoyed a peaceful Lent and Holy Week – welcome back!
Feel free to share favourite prayers, hymns, stories etc on the Easter theme, on this thread.
We may also use this thread to “catch up” on news and views. Whatever!
A very happy Easter to one and all!
As well as affording us the opportunity to post Easter greetings, this thread is also a “catch all” – feel free to post comments on anything we would have discussed last week, but for the holiday. And the usual rule applies in a free-for-all thread like this – good clean fun, jokes and stories, welcome… which reminds me of the boy who asked his father why we paint Easter eggs. Reply: Because it’s easier than trying to wallpaper them!
Happy Easter everyone!
