NEW SEASONS
The change from Winter to Spring in much of Australia is not dramatic.
Rather the new season emerges in much the same way as our lives change,
sometimes a ‘small drama’, as when a child leaves home.
Sometimes the change into a new season is prolonged
and painful as with a partner who moves into care.
If we are to live faithfully, we need to temper our expectations.
We cannot plan a new season to order but with God’s help
we can look for the chances of new life in the changes of our fleeting world.
The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore.
Psalm 121:7-8
Let us thank God for members in the diocese of Wangaratta
as they greet another Southern Hemisphere Spring
and continue their involvement with local parish and community life.
