Soon we will be celebrating the Easter Mysteries once again. We invite you to join us as we ponder these mysteries with eyes of the heart and discover the Risen Christ anew. Let us begin by sitting in silence, breathing deeply, and opening ourselves completely to the Spirit within.

Jesus is inviting us to deepen our capacity to receive the intense spiritual energy available to us during this sacred season as a catapult to our own transformation…. Jesus is real, alive, intimately and vibrantly enfolding us right now. And really to know this presence we need to go deeper into the heart to discover the living Christ.*

To have faith in the risen Christ is to live from a new level of consciousness… We are invited into a new freedom, to become new persons for a new Earth.**

What is knocking at your heart’s door? How do you experience the spiritual energy of this season? What is it like to be enfolded in this Love? What is it that is emerging within you? If you would like to share any of your reflections with us, we’d be happy to receive them. Easter Blessings!
