Eastertide

My dear friends
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! I hope you had a good Easter, leading into Eastertide. The next 40 days are the time Jesus appeared to his disciples in Galilee, which is beautiful in the Spring. This time corresponds to the 40 days between the Jewish passover and the Feast of shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, when the Torah was given on Mount Sinai. So we closely parallel the Jewish tradition, in our lead up to Pentecost.

The coming of the Holy spirit at Pentecost is the culmination of the Resurrection and the Ascension and brings to an end this very Holy season which started with Lent.The disciples are enjoined to spread the Gospel to all nations and to the ends of the earth. We are able to walk the full road with Jesus in all the signposts of his life. I wish you a good journey!

Shalom from
Sister gila
