It is two weeks since Easter. In the Gospel today, two of the disciples tell the story of how they had been walking from Jerusalem to a nearby town called Emmaus when Jesus appeared to them. At first, they had not recognised him because they had not yet heard that Jesus had risen from the dead. Then he sat down to eat with them, broke the bread, and they realised who he was.

In today’s story, Jesus appears again to the disciples. This time, they give him some fish to eat. Among the early Christians – the followers of Jesus – the fish became a symbol for Jesus.

But why?

Christ is risen! … But not everyone is convinced.

In today’s Gospel, we hear the story of how Jesus appeared to his disciples after he had died and risen from the dead.

One of them, Thomas, was not there and only heard about it afterwards.

He needed to be persuaded that Jesus was really alive.

The story tells us how important it is to believe – to have faith – even if we cannot see and touch Jesus every day.

Christ is risen! Alleluia!

Easter has finally arrived and Jesus has risen from the dead bringing new life to us all!

In the Children’s Liturgy we have been preparing for this special day for several weeks.

We invite everyone in our community to watch our short film about how we marked the countdown to Easter in the traditions of the countries from where our parents come: from Brazil, Britain, India, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Poland…

There will be no Children’s Liturgy on Zoom before Mass this Sunday morning. The Children’s Liturgy will resume at the usual time of 10:30 next Sunday 11 April 2021.

It is Palm Sunday – the start of Holy Week… the most important few days of the whole year for Christians.

We start by celebrating Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem in the same way as people did more than 2000 years ago – waving palms and branches and preparing the way for Our Saviour.

Today’s Gospel gives us a sneak preview of all the highs and lows that we will share with Jesus in the coming days: from friendship and love through suffering and death to new life and hope on Easter Sunday.

It will be a dramatic journey. Are you ready?

Today is the 5th Sunday of Lent. The time of preparing for Easter is nearly over.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus is worried about what is going to happen to him.

But he knows that it will lead to new life for him and for all of us.

And this will be a great reason to celebrate!

Let’s look for signs of new life around us…
