A collage picks up on the colour and message of Easter. The cross in the corner is dark and bleak but from it emerges a great message of hope and with it an outburst of love and energy.

The following reflection is by Amanda Dillon
Easter stands at the very heart of our faith. It is the central point around which everything we know and believe about Jesus the Christ, turns and has meaning. Everything about Jesus and his teaching must now be viewed through this prism of glorified, exalted, resurrected life! We should be rendered speechless at the mind bending enormity of it. It demands that we recalibrate our worldview and change, change, change! Our task is to take this mind blowing impact of Christ’s resurrection into a suffering and broken world. Our job is to model our lives and behaviour on Jesus, to go out and leaven the dough, to love and to serve, forgive and heal, feed and clothe. Happy Easter!
