Happy Easter, everyone! Today we celebrate
that Jesus is risen from the dead. He has made it possible for us all,
one day, to be in Heaven with God.
Do you see anything familiar in our Easter card? The model of the world
and everything in it was made by the children of our liturgy in Lent 2008.
In the Bible, we find the story of the Creation described in a poetic
way, as taking place over seven days. The writer imagines the stages.
In his Gospel, Saint John describes the beginning of Jesus' work on earth
as a second Creation. During Lent, we thought of the meaning of Jesus'
coming to this world for us- his life, death, then his resurrection at
Easter. In 2008, we made a model/collage of the world God created.
Saint John also tells us what happened on Easter morning. The night before,
John had helped Mary, Jesus' Mother, Joseph of Arimathea, and Nicodemus
to wash Jesus' body and wrap it in the winding cloths. Now, John went
with Peter to visit the tomb once more, but found that there was no longer
a body inside. All he saw were the cloths in which Jesus had been wrapped,
the cloth which had been around Jesus' head lying separately. The cloths
had not been unwound, but were empty. He realised that the Resurrection
had taken place. John says 'he saw and he believed'. |

Here are some ideas you may like to follow
during Easter.
The calendar reminds us that we are currently celebrating that 2000
years have passed since Saint Paul was born.
