EASTER MESSAGE
 

‘May the Light of Christ, rising in glory, dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds.’

Dear Parishioners of Christ Our Light,

In these holy days we have contemplated the love Jesus offered those around him, the ultimate sacrifice he made out of love, and on this Easter Day, we celebrate with great joy His rising from the dead. Light has overcome the darkness, and new life has been won for us all. Resurrection faith is more than an affirmation of Jesus’ victory over death and of his exaltation and enduring presence. It is a summons to us all to return to the words and deeds of Jesus in the Gospel.

My sincere thanks to the many people that gave of their time and effort to our Holy Week liturgies. We can all appreciate that things don’t just happen by themselves. It takes the generosity of a number of people to make possible the richness of our liturgical celebrations.

My sincere thanks also go to all our lectors, Eucharistic ministers, musicians and choir, computer operators, to those who cut down palm branches and helped decorate our churches, to those who assisted with the number of set-ups and clean-ups for our different liturgies, and for all who consistently show such generosity of time and spirit. Thank you so much.

I wish you, your families, and all connected with our parish community, a very happy and holy Easter, as we celebrate His risen life, and the share in it we have so graciously been given.

Fr Alan
