Hope


Today the suns shines in the valley.  Colors are alive. Everything seems glorious.


Today is Holy Saturday and the Vigil of Easter. According to the Little Black Book (www.littlebooks.org) there are four parts to the Easter Vigil:
 The Ceremony of Fire, The Liturgy of the Word, The Liturgy of Baptsm, and The Liturgy of the Eucharist.

"The Liturgy of the Word: Listening to the word of God is to give hope, that all of history is in God's hands, that the universe ultimately works toward good, not evil."

Such an interesting reflection ... beautiful images of life renewing itself! I say yes! to Spring!

My question ... does good always come out over evil? Or is the nature of God to allow the balance of both ... and in that balance let man dangle and at time be still and know ...

Just a question. Thanks for making me pnder it a bit more! Happy Easter!

Such lovely colours. I get jealous seeing most everyone in spring, whilst we in Australia are sliding towards winter- first frost due this week!
