It is now about a year since we experienced a very different Easter. There is a sense that as we start to emerge from the ravages of the pandemic that we seek signs of hope. Not least is our ability to start returning to Church and experience a deeper communion with God and each other. What we considered normal and every day has changed. We are all too conscious of how unpredictable life can be and what we look for as signs of hope.
This Easter Sunday as we gather and celebrate with family we become familiar with some of the traditional problems that occur at this time not least the traffic jams as people seek relief from enforced isolation. Yet Easter is not just a passing season where we take a breath before plunging into winter. It is a time where we look for signs of life where there seems to be only death. The ability to see that God is present even in the darkest night.
As we journey from now until Pentecost we are called to be surprised by the risen Christ who encounters us on our everyday journey. May this be a blessed time for us all. As we once again see signs of hope.
