Reflection
Excerpt from Congregation newsletter by Sr. Ana Dura, CSR
Recently some of us were gathered together in community watching an interview around the current crisis in the Church. One of the speakers profoundly reminded us, “Hope never dies.” As winter transforms into spring, we are filled with renewed energy and are reminded that while the natural world around us may look lifeless and barren, that which was dormant is beginning to flow again and the cycle of life, death, and resurrection continues. We are reminded by creation that hope never dies.
Certainly the season of Lent and the joy of Easter is significant for our Congregation as we gaze upon the life, death and resurrection of our Redeemer, who reminds us that hope never dies because God’s love and mercy are unconditional and without end. We are ever grateful for our Charism which is ever relevant in every time and age. Humanity and all of creation is in need of hope, love and mercy.
As Spring dawns and the great celebration of Easter still fresh in our hearts we rejoice in the signs of new life and hope that we experience in our Province.
