Happy Easter!
Apr. 16th, 2017 11:47 amWe've made it through Lent - and I can tell you that setting ourselves a target of a good news story every day made for one of the most challenging series of Lent reflections. To mark this special day, I'm sharing another one of the prayers I wrote for Palm Sunday cos it works to mark our arrival at today.
We are Mary Magdalene, bowled over by the sheer wonder of Easter morning. As we go through this week, retracing your son’s steps from triumphant entry to Jerusalem to a criminal’s death on the cross, remind us that we are a resurrection people, not a Calvary people. Help our lives to shine, to be a living witness to the greatest story ever told. May we be light and salt to the world, this Easter and in the year ahead.
