| A Wonderful Easter! |
As we leave the month of April and prepare for all those occasions that come with May and the summer months, let’s not forget what we have celebrated – the Resurrection of Our Lord. And what a wonderful Easter God made possible for us to enjoy this year. Do you remember the services of our Holy Week? On Maundy Thursday we gathered to visually revisit the stripping of the altar and the symbolic nature of what took place on that night so long ago as the chief priests and the scribes removed Jesus from his friends and disciples and began his trial. As the altar paraments were removed, we could see the position and safety of Christ being taken from him. As he was turned over into the hands of the human authorities, we were hit with the stark reality of how quickly things can go from good to bad. |
