Wising everyone around the world a very happy Easter on this Sunday morning.
Today many of us will gather with our loved ones to celebrate new beginnings, renewal and the resurrection of Jesus.
I hope this weekend you too have the opportunity to be with your loved ones. For those who can not be with family, may the blessings of Easter bring you peace and joy.
Here is a beautiful Irish blessing to help us embrace the spirit of Easter.
At The Breaking of the Easter Dawn
"At the breaking of the Easter dawn
May the Risen Savior bless your home
With grace and peace from above,
With joy and laughter, and with love;
And when night is nigh, and day is done
May He keep you safe from all harm."
I pray this Easter may be a time of renewal for each and every one of us, when we find direction and meaning in our lives, no matter the trials we have overcome nor the discoveries that lie before us.
