Happy Easter! Today is the greatest of all solemnities: the Resurrection of the Lord from the dead. The Lenten journey is now concluded, and we have lived the days of Passiontide and Holy Week with real faith and devotion. We send you all every good wish for the days of Easter and hope you all have a good Easter holiday. Many thanks go to all our parishioners and volunteers who have helped with, prepared, led or participated in our great celebrations and in preparing the church - thank you all! Christ is Risen. Alleluia!

THIS IS HOLY WEEK
This week is Holy Week, the greatest week in the Church’s year. This week, in the liturgy, we celebrate the greatest mystery at the heart of our faith: the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection. Let us live these days with faith and devotion. We look forward to seeing you all at church in the coming days.

Today is Mothering Sunday. We hope all our mums and families have a lovely day. Let us remember to pray for all the mothers who have gone to God. In the liturgy, today is Laetare Sunday - the Fourth in Lent. Today we are reminded of the joyful destination of our journey that leads towards Easter. Next Sunday, the Fifth Sunday of Lent, is the beginning of Passiontide. This week Lemmy has her first birthday! However, she was 8 weeks old when she came to live in the presbytery and take her up new appointments as ‘chief evangeliser’ and ‘centre of attention’. She says she loves her life in the parish and says hello to you all. Thank you to all who have helped me by looking after her during Mass and other times too! God bless.

We had a lovely Mothers Day last weekend and hope all our mothers had a special day. Today is the Fifth Sunday of Lent (the beginning of Passiontide) and next week we will celebrate Palm Sunday which is the start of Holy Week. I hope that we will all be able to live these special days with faith, devotion and participation at church.

Today is already the Third Sunday of Lent. In the liturgy we hear about how the Law and worship are connected - for Christians these two realities exist in Christ who is the true and real presence of God among us. The more we worship him, the more we become his living Body. The first Christians understood this when they said, ‘We become what we receive’. Next Sunday is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, known as ‘Laetare Sunday’. Next Sunday is also Mothering Sunday. Next weekend you will be able to take a sheet with the times of celebrations here during Holy Week. Last week I had a wonderful time at the celebrations for the Feast of St Paul’s Shipwreck in Malta. I prayed for you all and the whole parish at the statue and also during the liturgies. May God bless you all and your Lenten journeys.
