Easter Empowerment
W
e are called this year, to celebrate the light of Christ's Resurrec on filled with the
hope of Easter empowerment and carry it into a world of darkness and uncertainty.
However, this invoca on of hope may seem premature and dangerously nave. The
ominous shadows cast by the massacres in the bomb blasts of Churches in Egypt, chemical
a acks in Syria, retaliatory missile strikes, tensions escala ng between nuclear powers, violence
and death by cow vigilantes and an - Romeo squads,hal ng of religious services and polarisa on
of poli cs seem to be working at cross-purposes with the Easter message.
More personally, the spirits of some may be dampened this Easter by illness, bereavement,
family breakdown, addic on, and unemployment. When life has let us down or when old
struggles are succeeded by new ones, we may find it challenging to trust in the victory of
God. When hope begins to slip away, fear takes its place and we are robbed of Easter Peace,
Joy and Love.
The message by the angels is clear, succinct and compelling: "Do not be afraid; I know that you
are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised." The angels
describe the key moments of tension and drama in the Easter story. Fear and joy, despair and
hope, doubt and faith. This message 'Do not be afraid'is in many ways the hallmark of good
news and heralds the restora ve and empowering word of courage that is the very essence of
the Resurrec on life.
There is a mountain of evidence in the life of the disciples and of the church that Jesus indeed
rose. We see the disciples changed, walking in newness of life as a new crea on, filled with the
Holy Spirit. The evidence that they were changed by the Risen Christ is huge and convincing.
The fear that casts its shadow over Easter is actually the doubt that you and I can really walk in
the newness of life, that we can become a new crea on that we can change and be filled with
the Holy Spirit.
Can the God of Genesis, Who separated the darkness from light, Who brought the en re
world into being from nothing, make a new crea on and give new life? Can the God of Exodus
Who delivered the Hebrew people from slavery bondage deliver me from the bondage of sin?
Because of the Resurrec on of Jesus, we can experience the power of the Genesis in our life.
We can experience an Exodus from the bondage of sin in our life. The stone in our life can be
rolled away.
For all of us standing at the empty tomb whatever the circumstances there is unfathomable
hope. There is hope for those on the peripheries of society; hope for governments and leaders;
hope for the Church in this me of purifica on and renewal, hope for you and for me striving
to lead a holy life.
Easter is meant to leave us with a very dierent sense of the present and the future. It oers a
reality that is full of joy. Easter proclaims that fear and terror and death are not the end of the
story. If we keep joyful faith in the memorial of the Lord's paschal solemnity and live it in this
way, listening to His word and celebra ng His mysteries, then we shall have the sure and real
hope of sharing His triumph over death and living with Him in God.
The Easter Alleluia proclaims the unending Love of God and empowers us with this
unquenchable fire of God's love, summoning us to entrust ourselves to Christ's care as we hope
in the divine power of Christ's Resurrec on. Anchoring ourselves in the sure promise that God
who has the last word, will ensure us the light and life and grace and mercy and Joy and Peace
of Easter.

DOB : 07-01-1953 / 06-03-2017
2 Timothy 4 : 7 - 8. And cure was not to be.
He wrapped her in his loving arms
And whispered, come with me A light from our house is gone
You will be long remembered by She suffered much in silence, A voice that we loved is still
not only the Parish you served Her spirit did not bend. A place is vacant in our house
for so many years, She faced her pain with courage, That never can be filled.
Until the very end.
But the thousands
She tried so hard to stay with us, Fondly remembered by
of Faithful Devotees. But her fight was not in vain.
God took her to his loving home,
