A thought ...

When I was in the seminary, an elderly priest told us, “Life is a series of Good Fridays with an occasional Easter thrown in just to keep us going.”
We were young. “No!” we objected. “Life is an endless Easter with some Good Fridays thrown in to keep us on our toes!”
It wasn’t until I was his age that I realized both sides are true.
What do you think?

St Michael's Church is a Heritage building. We need to conserve & enhance it for future generations. How will we do that?

"IT IS GOOD TO BELONG"

Easter

For most people in the world the question is not, "Is there a life on the other side of death?" It is, rather, "is there life on this side of death?" Until we Christians give evidence that there is life on this side of death, the world does not need to believe our dogmas and giant churches. It doesn't need our words of hell. It needs our promise of heaven

(Richard Rohr)

AND EASTER IS JUST THAT!

Latest Sunday Reflection

13 May 2012

I'M GOING, BUT I HAVEN'T GONE It sounds as if Jesus couldn't make up his mind. First of all, He had been with the apostles, the select group that became known as apostles; well, not completely select. One of the Judas, messed things by selling Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. But at least the others had more or less been faithful. Oh yes Peter had sworn black and blue that he has never known Jesus, but then came to his senses and publicly said: Jesus, you know all things; you know that I love you. But then Jesus was gone; in fact crucified as a common criminal; in fact as a blasphemer -- one who claimed that he was God's son. Crucified, died and buried. Gone, gone, gone. But then he was with them again; not gone but appearing several times and even eating with them...
