"The tomb of Christ, who is living, The glory of Jesus' resurrection;Bright angels attesting, The shroud and napkin resting. Yes, my Christ my hope is arisen:To Galilee he goes before you."

Alleluia(Sequence from Mass on Easter Sunday)On this Easter day every blessing and best wish from all here on the C&SI team. On this weeks podcast we have a very limited part one as of course next week is the Octave of Easter so there are no saints for the week! In part two of this weeks podcast we work our way through a couple of reflections including some thoughts from Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger on the Resurrection, Bishop Robert Barron - "Evidence of the Resurrection" and a few other odds and ends with some reflective Taize chants and a couple of Alleluia's thrown in for the day that is in it.Our gospel reflection is on John 20:1-9 reflecting on John's initial account of Easter morning with the witness of Mary Magdala, Peter and the Beloved Disciple. Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
