May the Joy of Easter be Yours

The Risen Christ
Empty Tomb
Mount St Joseph Jesuit community wishes you a Blessed Easter! Easter is a wellspring of joy, hope, encouragement and newness and its coming has strengthened us spiritually. The joy of the Risen Lord in our community and our desire to share this joy with others became the central experience of the feast of the Resurrection of our Lord. Fr Francis Menezes, the Rector was the main celebrant of the English Easter Vigil Mass in Immaculate Heart Church. The majestic voices of the Novices in the choir that spread the joy of the occasion infused colour and spirit into the Eucharist. On Easter Sunday, the Novices who were out for the Sunday ministry joined the entire community for the Benediction at Noon, the central occasion of the day to thank the Lord. We felt the presence of the Risen Lord in our midst in the normal activities of the day and thereby experienced the joy He brings. May the joy of Easter be with you at all seasons of the year.
“Anyone who knows Easter cannot despair.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
