Our prayers and thoughts are with the people of Sri Lanka who have suffered multiple attacks on Christian Churches during Easter services, and also attacks at hotels today. We pray for all affected by this act of callous violence. Let us pray that human life and dignity and religious freedom will be respected.

At Easter, Our Lord resurrection sends out the most wonderful message to the world. To people who are struggling.., and those who feel hopeless. ….and also those who feel they will never be good enough, or worthy enough… and those who fear they can never be forgiven… For today's feast says… YES>>>>
The love and dignity that God intends for each and every one of his beloved sons and daughters, this dignity, this love, this life never ends. Our value and the worth of every person cannot be destroyed or defeated even by the worst that others wrongdoing or lack of reverence can wreak. And the harm that people can do in this world is enormous. But, God's last and final right of reply, speaks much louder than that! Our Lord's Resurrection sends a message to all the world, that all who suffer, matter greatly to the Lord, and God will not forget them nor fail (later if not sooner) to give them and restore to them the dignity that the world so often denies them. Hatred, violence, failure to give people the dignity and care they need… these things will not prevail over Our God of faithfulness and justice. Jesus has definitively and permanently "thrown in his lot" with us … and promises to bring him through to where he has gone ahead of us. Meanwhile, we are made bold in our determination to stand up for those who suffer and who call out for respect and to do everything possible to give practical help and care to those in need. Christ shows us they are worth every effort. And this effort will ultimately not be in vain, no matter what the obstacles.
God is with us, God will never abandon us… God truly is at work renewing us, restoring us, vindicating those who have been mistreated ...and give us new hope .. new life… and indescribable mercy….
- Jesus is an unequivocal "yes" — the enormous and seemingly thankless and much-derided cost of self-sacrifice and service, love, compassion, mercy, gentleness, and generosity of spirit… of thinking more of others and less of ourselves… is all worth it.
May God bless us and renew us in his astounding love… and ever-abiding faithfulness… and eternal care… and may our lives be more and more marked by these wonderful qualities marked by the life, death, and resurrection of Christ .... with every new day…..
