A FLAME FROM THIS FIRE WILL LIGHT THE EASTER CANDLE …
hich then lights the candles of everyone attending the vigil mass, as we commemorate a time of betrayal, agony, and death. All central to Christ’s mission on earth – the redemption of each one of us.
After the crucification, Jesus’ Disciples were understandably afraid, and hid behind closed doors. But, compassionate as always, Jesus didn’t make the disciples wait for many days or weeks living in uncertainty.
He came to them in that room on the evening of His resurrection. And as He said, ‘Peace be with you,’ the disciples were filled with joy.
But it was His next words that were instrumental in creating His Church:
‘As the Father sent me, so am I sending you’.
In ‘sending’ His Disciples, Jesus also sends each one of us. Through our Baptism all of us are called to be missionaries according to God’s word, and grow the Church founded on that Resurrection Day.
We don’t need to be priests or members of a religious order . . . leave the shores of home and travel to far off countries to be missionaries. Each one of us can be missionaries of Jesus by supporting those called to serve the Church on foreign soil.
By supporting the Zulu Missions, you are fulfilling being ‘sent’ by Jesus. And that fulfilment can be achieved by making your Easter gift online right now.
You can also include your special intentions for inclusion at our Easter Mission Masses, so that we can pray for you.
God bless you and your loved ones throughout the passion of Jesus and His glorious resurrection.
