Hello from the Vicar 4/23/2011


Hi, all!

I wrote this Easter blessing for you:

On this day, may Easter light break in on you;
brighten your soul and make your face shine.

May the risen Christ make an appearance in your kitchen
or when walking out the door of your house
or at the touch of someone's hand.

May you see the love of God in every flower,
your child's heart filled with wonder.
May God's hidden beauty burst into your eyesight.

May you be raised! 
Your empty tombs left behind!
May your silences shout for joy!

May every face hold a mystery for you,
and every human being the miracle of the living Christ.

May you leap at the chance for a new start,
and may you be surprised by your own resurrection.

I'm writing this especially aware of the resurrection of Eunice Brodde, our dear friend who died this week, and I'm thinking of her alive with God, free of her wracked body, dancing for joy. Her niece Jamie has asked that we remember her in a memorial service on the afternoon of Sunday, May 15, at Clearbrook Care Center. I'll let you know when the time is set.

I'm also remembering Mary Warner, who died in January, and her artistic soul, now free to enjoy the beauty of heaven.

Happy Easter!

Bill

  2. Very kind thoughts, if we all could look forward to a resurrection this world would be a better place.
