Happy Easter to all our community!

As their Lenten project during the Children’s Liturgy, the children have been sharing their contributions to the Synod on the future of our Church.

Watch the video to see their thoughts and hear the beautiful voices of our children!

Today is Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week – the most special week in the whole Christian year.

At the beginning of the week, the Gospel tells us, the crowds cheered Jesus as he arrived in Jerusalem, waving palms like flags above their heads.

“The messiah has arrived! Our saviour has come! Hosanna!” they cried.

By the end of the week, though, everything will look so different.

Jesus will be arrested, tried and put to death on a cross. Good Friday will be the darkest and saddest day of all.

But Jesus knew that all this was coming and he was ready for it.

Because he knew that everyone was in for a surprise on Easter Sunday!

In the Gospel today, some religious leaders ask Jesus if a woman should be punished for something she did wrong.

They say the law says they should throw stones at her.

But Jesus asks them if any one of them has never done anything wrong.

None of them can claim that they have never done anything wrong.

So Jesus tells them that they should not throw stones at the woman, and he tells her that he forgives her.

Today, Jesus tells us a story about a fig tree.

The owner of a vineyard wants trees with lots of good fruit – but the fig tree is not growing fruit.

After three whole years, he is tired of waiting, and wants to cut the fig tree down.

The wise, kind gardener, however, wants to wait.

With more time, love and care, the fig tree may still grow good fruit.

Who do you think is right? The owner or the gardener?
