Wishing you joy and gladness in this Easter Season. In a world full of many difficulties, crises, and hurt; let us remember during this Easter, that God is with us, alive and well in the world. As we celebrate Easter and the risen Christ, let us be reminded that this is a special time set apart when we are invited to awaken our memory of God’s presence in our lives.
This month, we reflect on God’s presence – found through appreciation of beauty and reverence of creation. I hope we take a moment to pause and appreciate nature, people, or a simple pleasure. I hope we step outside of our daily tasks and concerns and widen our attention to the beauty around us and open ourselves to discoveries born of appreciation and reverence.
On this Holy Thursday, if you have 20 minutes of quiet time, perhaps at the end of the day, you might want to participate in the God Minutes Holy Thursday retreat reflection.
Please see the link listed below:

The God Minute has its daily reflection for today but in addition, it offers a 20-minute retreat reflection which places you in the Garden of Gethsemane, listening to the birds chirping and listening as God speaks to you.
May these holy days be filled with God’s inspiration to you.
May the celebration of resurrected life bring new hope to your being.
May the victory over earthly death turn your eyes to the promises of heaven.
May the empty tomb help you to leave your sorrows at the foot of the cross.
So that God’s hope, promises and forgiveness reign in your life forever.
Have a blessed Holy Week and joyful Easter!
