Mercy Day
'...The ongoing war in Syria and the devastation caused by Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu foreground the language of death and resurrection.
As we enter into the Easter mysteries, we carry with us the chaos of broken communities, human and more-than-human. We pray for order out of the chaos and for a real return to life for the struggling and displaced. We join with those who are sharing their resources and re-ordering their own way of being in the Earth community in order to make this happen.'
- Veronica Lawson rsm, 'Reflection on the Gospel-Easter Vigil Year B (Mark 16:1-8)'
