REFLECTION FOR FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

Stay awake during the Second Reading today. Right at the end there is a heart-stopping line. “ We shall see God as he really is.” We - mere motes of dust - shall see God - creator, ruler and lover of the entire universe - as He really is. And, St. John says, because we shall see him as he really is we shall become like him as he really is. Oh my! Such hope puts everything in this world in a new context. This weekend, when we contemplate the vast war cemeteries at Gallipoli, we realize there are two sides to all those crosses row on row. The ANZACs have fallen in sacrifice ; they are raised in glory. (G.M.)

THANK YOU - We would like to thank you all for your love and prayers for these two darling twin daughters of Genevieve and Elliot. They were born on January 16th in Wellington Hospital. Eden was born with Long Gap Oesophageal Artresia and needed an operation to attach her tummy to her oesophagus. She is doing very well now and learning how to feed. Olive is doing very well and has been living at Ronald MacDonald House with her Mum and her Dad when he is able to be there at the weekends. It has been a long haul, but they are getting there. Ronald MacDonald is an amazing place, all run by donations and volunteers. It has been a safe haven for Gen and Olive these past few months. We appreciate all the support and prayers. Thank you so much. We are very lucky to belong to such a lovely Parish. God Bless You All.
