Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
On Easter Sunday we celebrate the culmination of our Lenten journey, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. We have had a very unusual experience of Lent this year and our Holy Week is different from what we have been used to. We have all been facing a cross of significant proportions. For those more directly affected by the pandemic this cross has meant bereavement, anxiety, loss, financial insecurity, fatigue and so much more. However, God is still with us and we do see the hope in the message of the Resurrection of Jesus with a renewed emphasis this year. The Resurrection is the heart of our Christian faith. It gives hope to all of our lives and encourages us in our faith. These days of the Paschal Triduum, the days in which we enter into Our Lord’s Passion with special devotion, speak to us about these crosses in our life and in our world. Through his embracing of the Cross, Jesus shows the infinite extent of God’s love for us and he opens up the way to find a resurrection from our sins and from all that brings death into our lives. May the miracle of Christ’s resurrection fill our hearts with love, hope, and blissful joy. Fr Wojciech
