Seventh Sunday of Eastertide

It is strange that the Church celebrates the Lord’s Ascension with such joy. Departures, especially those of friends and particularly when there is no immediate prospect of their return, are generally sad events. A later chapter of the Acts of the Apostles describes...

Third Sunday of Easter reflection

Last week the reading from the Acts of the Apostles provided a vignette of the worship of the early Christians. They gathered in one another’s homes, they listened to the Scriptures, they sang the psalms with which they were so familiar from both synagogue and Temple,...

Easter Sunday reflection

When the early Christians shared with fellow Jews and then with the people of the Greek-speaking Mediterranean world the Gospel/Good News, their priority was to convey the news that Jesus had risen from the dead. They insisted he was Lord. The proclamation of the...
