GLEN WAVERLEY INTER-CHURCH CYCLE OF PRAYER

This week we pray for our Parish—Good Shepherd - Community.

REFLECTION BY FR MICHAEL TATE : Women go to the tomb as dawn is breaking. The Power of Darkness which had Jesus unjustly sentenced, cruelly tortured and buried in the pitch blackness of the tomb, is conquered by the Son-Rise of all sun rises flooding our world and the whole of human history with Divine Light and Energy.

This is the heart of our faith as Catholic Christians, which we celebrate with bon-fire (good fire) in darkness at the Easter Vigil. From that earthly element we light the Easter candle and the Exsultet is sung: ‘Be glad, let earth be glad as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King.’

The resurrection itself is nowhere described in the gospels, but we do have appearances of the Risen Lord Jesus. The first appearance was to a woman, Mary of Magdala. A title given to her by the early church was ‘Apostle to the Apostles’ because she was the bearer of the message which the male disciples initially did not believe. But eventually they too believed that Death had been done to death because the Son had risen.

Christ’s body was transfigured by the energy of Divine Love and we can, by grace, participate in that resurrection life of Our Lord. A glorious destiny awaits us, as indeed it awaits the whole cosmos as it is to be transformed by that resurrection life recreating the whole of creation.

We could take a moment to pray that we, along with all that matters, are graced with the life-giving energy of the Risen Son and that we may join Mary of Magdala in spreading the Good News of Christ’s victory over death. Alleluia!

The Church office will remain closed on Monday 22nd April Easter Monday and Thursday 24th April Anzac Day—both public holidays.

PARISH LIFE THIS WEEK

PLEASE RETURN YOUR PROJECT COMPASSION BOXES AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE. MANY LIVES WILL BE IMPROVED DUE TO YOUR GENEROSITY.

FR. KAZ WISHES ALL PARISHIONERS AND

VISITORS A HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER.

Lord, Jesus Christ, You have taught us to be merciful like the

heavenly Father, And have told us that whoever sees You sees

Him. Show us Your face and

we will be saved. Send Your Spirit and consecrate every

one of us with its anointing, So that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a

year of grace from the Lord, And Your Church, with renewed

enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed and restore sight

to the blind. Amen. Extract from the prayer written by Pope Francis for the Mercy Jubilee.
