This document reflects on the Easter season and calls the reader to recognize God's presence within themselves, others, and all of creation. It encourages embracing one's role as a gift to others and immersing oneself in the beauty and mystery of the universe. While life can be difficult and messy, we are called to walk contemplatively and respond to injustice and suffering with compassion, as Mary, Julian and Joseph did in facing their own hardships. The document expresses a longing for God to reveal Godself and provide love, wisdom, courage and comfort during times of weakness or fear.

2. Let us journey into the Days of
Easter Mystery
May we become aware
of the Divine Presence
within us,
all around us,
beyond us
And with us always...

4. Acts of the 26th
General Chapter
Life, Death, Resurrecti

5. I am Gift, being created in
the image and likeness
of God, who is Life and Love itself.
I am being called to become Gift for others
I am invited to recognise and enjoy all the Giftedness
that surrounds me, people, creation, music, beauty, poetry.
May I ‘awaken to the creative vitality of our abundant and exuberant God.
May I immerse my self more consciously in the evolving mystery of universe, of Earth,
of humanity’, of my own evolving sense of true self.
The Gift You made of me, may I become.

6. Life gets messy... In these days we are invited
to ‘walk contemplatively
with open eyes,
attentive to the violence
and the beauty,
the wonder and heartache,
the desolation and radiance
in ourselves and beyond.
We hear the cry of Earth,
the cry of children.
We feel humanity diminished’.
We become still, aware of our
need for
healing, reconciliation, forgivenes
s.
Be with us O Forgiving God

7. And we can change it!

8. We are called...
...again, through our
Journey into the
mystery of these Easter
Days to ‘respond...in
the spirit of Mary and
Julian, living on the
edges of our existence
with Joseph as we
continue to re-imagine
the Gospel of
Jesus’, Light in our
Darkness.

10. There is a longing
in our hearts O
God for You to
reveal Yourself to
us. There is a
longing in our
hearts for love
we only find in
You our God
For justice,
for freedom,
for mercy:
hear our prayer.
In sorrow, in
grief: be near
hear our
prayer, O God.

11. There is a longing in
our hearts O God for
You to reveal Yourself
to us.
There is a longing in
our hearts for love we
only find in You our
God.
For wisdom,
for courage,
for comfort:
hear our prayer.
In weakness,
in fear:
be near, hear our
prayer, O God.

12. There is a longing in
our hearts O God for
You to reveal Yourself
to us. There is a
longing in our hearts
for love we only find in
You our God.
God save us, take
pity, light in our
darkness. We call
You, we wait: be
near, hear our
prayer, O God.
