LENT READING LEADS TO EASTER HOPE
If you have been following our Vicar’s excellent Lent book Opening our Lives you will now have reached Easter Sunday which is entitled “The power of hope”.
To quote from his book he says that
“The resurrection carries a message that can turn the world upside down and inside out—a message about faith, love and, most of all, HOPE.”
He goes on to conclude that “Hope is to be found in letting go of the things we think are important to us, looking at the empty cross and then being inspired by that hope to live out his kingdom of love, peace and compassion in our everyday lives.”
An Easter Prayer from Trystan
Pray that opening ourselves to God’s kingdom helps us to share the hope, resurrection and new life of Easter with others. Ask God to bring light into the darkness that peo- ple face, hope into the hopelessness
that many feel and joy into the temptation to be cynical or grow weary. Amen
Happy Easter to you all from Rev Trystan
