An Easter Prayer
God, give me the eyes to see
the beauty of Spring,
and to behold your majesty
in every living thing –
and may we see in lacy leaves
and every budding flower
the hand that rules the universe
with gentleness and power –
and may this Easter grandeur
that Spring lavishliy imparts
awaken faded flowers of faith
lying dormant in our hearts,
and give us ears to hear, dear God,
the Springtime song of birds
with messages more meaningful
than man’s often empty words
telling harried human beings
who are lost in dark despair –
‘Be like us and do not worry,
For God has you in his care.
Pope Francis 1936-2025
“At 7.35am last Monday morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalised.” quote from Cardinal Kevin Farrell.
Some quotations from Pope Francis
“We must pay special attention to this: the children and the grandparents. Children and young people are the future, they are the strength, those who take us forward. They are the ones in which we place our hope. Grandparents are the memory of a family, they are the ones who gave us the faith, transmitted to us the faith.”
“As human beings we are exactly the same. We know that love and peace are the way to a better world. We know that getting along with one another, celebrating our common humanity, appreciating our differences, that’s what will move us forward, especially in these troubling times.”
“To be ready to serve, we need a healthy heart: a heart healed by God, one which knows forgiveness and is neither closed nor hardened.”
“Today people are suffering from poverty, but also from lack of love.”
“Love is shown by little things, by attention to small daily signs which make us feel at home.”
“Faith grows when it is lived and shaped by love.”
“That is why our families, our homes, are true domestic churches. They are the right place for faith to become life, and life to grow in faith.” – Pope Francis
