Isn't it interesting that Pope Francis died on Easter Monday?  With yesterday's celebratory reminder of the Resurrection fresh on our minds, how can we not keep this in mind with hope, while mourning his death?  

Easter is not meant to be observed just once a year.  Notice we sing the "Alleluia" before the gospel at Mass, beyond that joyous day?  

Further, let us pray for our next pope, and the decision the cardinals must soon make in choosing one.  Who will lead the Church, the Bride of Christ?  We pray for a down pouring of the Holy Spirit upon them, and upon the man who will be divinely selected to witness to and instruct the sheep.  

Come Holy Spirit!

Seasons

 I have been away for awhile!  Everyone goes through different seasons of life and I am no different than anyone else.  There are life transitions and new experiences to be lived, and days where life can seem a little unpredictable.

But what always remains is the love of God, and so should our love for Him.  To see Christ in one another, and to be consistent in that love.  Isn't it great to be loved?  

Praying that you all have a blessed Holy Week, and I hope to return to this blog again soon!
