Church of the Nativity

This Gospel we just heard is a very important one to me. One of the interesting features of it is that it is one of two times where God breathed into humanity, and since there are only two instances, that makes it important to reflect on. 

Happy Easter everyone!  What a beautiful day to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord. He is truly Risen. It is a cause to celebrate every day, but today especially. How will you celebrate Jesus’ victory over sin and death today? How will you celebrate?  I was thinking about this as I read the readings, celebrating the victory as a witness to these events, just a strong emphasis on Witnesses today…

Happy Easter everyone!  It really is so good to be here with you, last year Fr. Andrew Marr and I celebrated the Easter Vigil by ourselves in this huge church… it was rather strange, so I am so very thankful to be with you this evening.
