Thought for the Day: We come to Easter faith by acknowledging the hungers of the heart (“our own hope had been”), by searching the scriptures (“our hearts burning within us”), by holding on to the story of the first disciples and witness of the women, by the Eucharist (“the breaking of the bread”) and by sharing our faith (“they told their story”). Is there more? As the story starts, he stops them. Towards the end of the story, they stop him from walking out of their lives, perhaps for ever. The moment of desire leads to the moment of recognition and a life-changing encounter. Prayer: Open our ears, O Lord, to the words of Scripture, that our hearts may burn within us. Open our hearts to share with others the faith we have received, that “we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith” (Rom 1:12) Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony)

Live Streaming: Camera will be turned on for ceremonies only. Only funerals will be recorded and will be available for 1 month. Other masses will not be recorded.

Pope Leo XIV on X: Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady of Africa. Here, in Algeria the maternal love of Lalla Meryem gathers everyone as children, within our rich diversity, in our shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace. In a world where division and wars sow pain and death, living in unity and peace is a compelling sign.

Pope’s Intention for April: For Priests in crisis. Let us pray for priests going through moments of crisis in their vocation, that they may find the accompaniment they need and that communities may support them with understanding and prayer.
