Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Easter Octave, the eight Holy Days of Easter Week.
Each day this week (from Sunday onwards) the Church Celebrates the Solemnity of the Resurrection, every day therefore is an Easter Day, we welcome the presence of the Risen Lord Jesus into our lives.
We are invited to pray this simple, but beautiful Easter Octave Prayer:
This Day was made by the Lord, we rejoice and are glad.
Let us rejoice and let us be glad, for the Lord Jesus has Risen: Alleluia!
Happy Easter!
Brother Andrew, SCJ

This is Holy Week, the most holy and deeply moving week of the Christian Year. As we journey towards Good Friday, we remember the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus and pray:
Who else but God could take a cross that represented defeat and turn it into a symbol of Victory?
Who else but God could take a cross that represented guilt and turn into a symbol for Grace?
Who else but God could take a cross that represented condemnation and turn it into a symbol of Freedom?
Who else but God could take a cross that represented pain and suffering and turn it into a symbol of Healing and Hope?
Who else but God could take a cross that represented death and turn it into a symbol of Life?
Blessings and Peace.
Brother Andrew, SCJ
