My brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today I invite you to read and reflect on this poem by Janet Morley
When we are all despairing;
when the world is full of grief;
when we see no way ahead,
and hope has gone away:
Roll back the stone.
Although we fear change;
although we are not ready;
although we’d rather weep
and run away:
Roll back the stone.
Because we’re coming with the women;
because we hope where hope is vain;
because you call us from the grave
and show the way:
Roll back the stone.
……the stone is being rolled back. We need not live in fear.
Soon and very soon, Fr. Leo
