10th May 2026 – Year A Sixth Sunday of Easter
This Mother’s Day prayer came across my desk this week, and I want to share it with you.
If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in its place, but have not love, I am a housekeeper--not a homemaker. If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements, but have no love, my children learn cleanliness - not godliness.
- Love leaves the dust in search of a child's laugh.
- Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window.
- Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk.
- Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys.
- Love is present through the trials.
- Love reprimands, reproves, and is responsive.
- Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, runs with the child, then stands aside to let the youth walk into adulthood.
- Love is the key that opens salvation's message to a child's heart.
Before I became a mother, I took glory in my house of perfection. Now I glory in God's perfection of my child. As a mother, there is much I must teach my child, but the greatest of all is love – (Author Unknown). God bless our mothers.
Christ is Risen. He has risen indeed!

3rd May 2026 – Year A Fifth Sunday of Easter
As we continue to celebrate the fifty days of Easter, Jesus promises that He goes forth to prepare a place for his followers in His Father’s house. Our baptism commissions us to share Jesus’ mission in the world. 1 Peter 2:2-10 reminds us that we are holy people, a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, who are called to proclaim the One Jesus Christ, who has called us out of darkness into the Light. In words and deeds, we bear witness to the risen Christ, who is our way, truth, and life. Christ is the cornerstone of God’s saving work, and the foundation of our lives. We are God’s chosen, holy people, who celebrate and declare the mercy of God's love through His Son Jesus Christ. Christ is risen; He has risen indeed! Go in peace.26th April 2026 – Year A Fourth Sunday of Easter
The Fourth Sunday of Easter is sometimes called “Good Shepherd Sunday.” Jesus is called the “gate” of the sheep. The risen Lord Jesus Christ opens the way to abundant life. He anoints our head with oil and guides us beside the still waters of our baptism. In the midst of the world's violence and war, every Sunday Jesus spreads a feast before us. Our Good Shepherd knows you by name and walks with you through the valleys of death. Jesus continues to guide us so that we can walk with certainty and security through this life and to the life that He has prepared for all of us in eternity. We go forth to be signs of the resurrection and extend God’s tender care to all creation.
Christ has risen, He has risen indeed!

19th April 2026 – Year A Third Sunday of Easter
Luke 24:13-35 begins with two disciples walking to Emmaus, overcome with sadness, loss, and disappointment. They had hoped that Jesus, who was crucified, would be the one to redeem Israel! Yet the risen Christ walks with them and opens their eyes in the breaking of the bread. Each Sunday, our hearts burn within us as the scriptures are proclaimed and Christ appears to us as bread broken and wine poured. The story of the road to Emmaus then becomes the pattern of our worship on the Lord's Day. The Emmaus story illustrates the weekly gathering of Christians, who first search through Moses and the prophets to hear about the Messiah and who then share a meal and, in so doing, recognise and acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ. Christ has risen; He has risen indeed!

A Thought for the Sixth Sunday of Easter
From a Mother’s Day prayer:
If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in its place, but have not love, I am a housekeeper--not a homemaker. If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements, but have no love, my children learn cleanliness - not godliness.
