Receive (this candle) as a pleasing fragrance,
And let it mingle with the lights of heaven.
May this flame be found still burning
By the Morning Star;
The one Morning Star who never sets,
Christ your Son.

Ah, Easter! It’s a favourite feast day in my church. I love the Easter vigil and last night was no different. This morning I pray that the flame of faith and love is still burning in my heart.
The Gospel reading last night was about the fears of the disciples and the women when they find Jesus missing. Understanding the Easter mysteries is not easy, even for the most faithful. I pray that fear may never overwhelm me and stop me from doing your will, Jesus.
I am off to family supper so this is short. I hope to be more on track this week with my blog, finishing off some of the stories from my Asian Adventure and looking forward to spring here in Canada.
May the light within you mingle with the lights of heaven to create a light so bright the world will never be the same. Happy Easter! May joy and hope be yours.
Peace,
Suzanne
