At last night's Easter Vigil Mass we greeted the Gospel by singing Christopher Walker's Alleluia of the Angels. I'd never sung it before, and so, meeting it for the first time, I was especially struck by the short, simple verse:
Easter reflection
Today, we hold the mystery and the paradox in each breath ...
Both death and resurrection are present
as we stand at the foot of the cross.
In this season, we see the tender birth of Spring with courageous trust and vulnerability allowing our wounds to hold the resurrection.
It is the Easter season,
burgeoning alleluia with a refusal to believe that anything is devoid of resurrection,
even when the rational likelihood leaves us teetering on the brink of despair.

The other day I changed the cover photo on our Province's Facebook page in time for the Easter Triduum.
