Brothers and sisters, Christ is Risen! At the heart of the Easter proclamation is our profession that death does not and will not have the final word. Christ is victorious and has passed through the cross so that we may have life eternal. How fitting it was, therefore, that Pope Francis should begin his final journey to heaven on Easter Monday morning. Our beloved late Pope spent his Papacy tirelessly preaching joy, mercy, hope and the love of God. It is right that our hearts are heavy at this time, and that we pray for the repose of his soul and the cleansing of his sins, however let us be steadfast in proclaiming that in Christ we have no fear of death.

THIS IS HOLY WEEK
Holy Week is the pinnacle of the Church’s year, especially in terms of prayer and liturgy. It represents a journey we make with Our Lord during the last week of his earthly life. Please join us throughout the week for the main celebrations of the Easter Triduum, in particular: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday. We look forward to seeing you all during this momentous and faith-filled journey. Please also take a Holy Week poster and display it your window at home as a witness to the celebration of this sacred time. May God bless you all.

Today, the Fifth Sunday of Lent, was traditionally known as Passion Sunday as it marks the beginning of Passiontide: the inner heart of Lent that leads towards Holy Week and the Easter Triduum. Please make sure to join us in the days ahead as we celebrate the central mysteries of faith. Next Sunday is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week itself. Next weekend, please make a special effort to be at church in good time for Mass so that you can participate in the blessing of palms. If you are beginning schools holidays, have a safe and joyful break but remember to join us at church in Holy Week. May God bless you all.
