Reflection - We are an Easter people!
For some reason, at times the memory and pain of Good Friday seems to be an easier reality to grasp. We are more readily able to name and claim suffering. But we are a people called to hope, a people called to believe in and work for transformation, liberation and resurrection. In partnership with Christ, we can break open God’s saving message and share its joy with the world. One in love, one in heart and one in mind, together we can be kingdom builders. And by the fruits of our labour we can declare to those who have eyes to see, to those who have ears to hear, that there is good reason to proclaim – Christ is risen, Alleluia.
Yes, we are an Easter people and Alleluia is, indeed, our song.

Deaths - We pray for the recently deceased:
Sr Bridie Hunt, Sisters of Mercy, Lurgan and Enniskillen;
William Howe, County Care Nursing Home;
William Murphy, 18 Moyletra Gardens;
Alexius Treacy, Queen Street and England. May they rest in peace.
