HAPPY EASTER!
Good morning everyone,
I’d like to start by sending Easter blessings to everyone who celebrates the occasion, whether that's as a matter of your faith, or in secular way. I hope you will all be able to find a way in which to pass the holiday pleasantly, even though we are all living through some strange times.
With Easter in mind, I've chosen this quotation. It comes from Henri Jozef Machiel Nouwen, (1932 – 1996), a Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian.
“Did I offer peace today?
Did I bring a smile to someone's face?
Did I say words of healing?
Did I let go of my anger and resentment?
Did I forgive?
Did I love?
That's a set of really important questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come”.
- MACHIEL NOUWEN -
I agree that it's a set of questions we'd be doing very well to ask ourselves, every day. 🙏
