VIEW FROM THE HEIGHTS               

March 2026

Greetings,

This cartoon from the Church Times[i] says it all!

 Church - & religion - & God are all about hope! It is the ministry to which every faither is called. The spiritual muscle that we are required to keep toned.[ii]

Contrary to the doom and gloom of the secular media, contrary to Dante’s hellish warning "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here,"[iii] the Holy One is the bringer of ALL HOPE.  The love and care of our Heavenly Parent are the promise that this world will never be neglected or abandoned.   

Easter is the proof.  Jesus was rescued from the grave, his co-crucified redeemed from a life of crime. Neither death nor depravity can separate anyone from God’s love. No person is beyond grace, no corner of the world outside the perimeter of Divine protection, no part of Creation uncherished.

As Easter people, we are the tellers of this Good News! We are the sharers of this great love. We are the bearers of God’s limitless hope!

May this Easter fill you with God’s richest blessings.

Embrace Hope!

Be the Hope!

Brenda
