C&SI - Easter joy in a world gone mad - 5 April 2026 (S06E20b) (podcast excerpt)

On this week’s programme excerpt we are delighted to welcome back Noirin Lynch, Director of FCJ Spirituality House, Teach Spiorodáltathe in Spanish Point, Co Clare to reflect on Easter Joy in a world gone mad. Noirin reminds us that Easter is not either about stopping in the paid of Good Friday nor at the same time running into the Alleluia’s but more a reminder to us that Easter Joy is the confidence that no matter what, we are in God’s hands. Jesus walked towards the hard stuff – he came down from Tabor and proceeded to Jerusalem and ultimately to Calvary. He stayed and we are also called to stay in solidarity and accompany people in their real lived experiences. The Kingdom of Heaven is not just a theory for the next life but a call to hope now. Our Easter Joy is a protest against despair in a world that might seem to have gone mad. Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
