Easter Greetings from Bishop Michael

 Easter Greetings from Bishop Michael

Hope blooms in abundance at Easter

Hope blooms in abundance at Easter as we relive the story of that first Easter morning.

Jesus who had died, has risen. He has been transformed and has gone before them to

Galilee. The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian belief that God’s last

word on life is not suffering and death but rather healing, wholeness and new life. The

resurrection of Jesus is the source of all Christian Hope.

When hope is in short supply

It is ironic that at Easter in the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025, hope itself seems to be in short

supply. War and suffering dominate the news headlines. We need but think of the martyred

people of Gaza, the broken people of Ukraine, the terrorised men and women of South

Sudan. Commentators struggle for words to express the massive changes occurring at the

level of global politics. Many speak of a new world order and the need to spend more on

establishing military might. Vengeful language has become the norm. Half-truths and

untruths seem to abound. Our world is on edge. Love seems to be struggling in a sea of

hate.

“All shall be well … all manner of things shall be well”

As we hear again the Easter Proclamation “He is not here! He is risen! He has gone before

you to Galilee!” (Mt. 28), let us take heart. Let us turn to the risen Christ. Let us renew our

confidence in the Goodness of God who can bring life out of death, order out of chaos

and hope out of despair. Turning to the words of the fourteenth century mystic, Julian of

Norwich (1342-c.1416), let us take comfort in the sure hope that “all shall be well; all shall

be well, and all manner of things shall be well … there is a force of Love moving through

the universe that holds us fast and will never let go.” (Revelations of Divine Love).

My hope and my wish this Easter is that the divine force of love moving through the

universe may renew your sense of hope and hold you and yours fast and never let you go.

Happy Easter in the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025.

Together Towards Tomorrow in Hope 2025

 

Together Towards Tomorrow in Hope 2025 – A Report

 

On January 28th and 29th last, the priests of the Diocese of Clonfert and the Diocese of Galway, Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora along with lay staff from both dioceses met in Co. Clare. This was the first time the priests of both dioceses had come together for a time of friendship, prayer together and hope filled reflection on the future. Discussions were had on the journey to date in forming viable vibrant groupings of Parishes or Faith Communities where priests and laity would work together to respond to the pastoral needs of the people. It was acknowledged that the future was going to be very different from the past and that we had to gradually move towards a radical rationalisation of our current pastoral provisions and infrastructure. The need to involve and form lay people to take up various roles in parishes was discussed. In the context of input on the recent universal synod on synodality in Rome, the importance of Parish Pastoral Councils and Parish Finance Committees was affirmed along with a need to focus on reaching out to people and inviting them to become active members of our local faith communities. The gathering also spent time on the strains and stresses of priestly ministry today and on how we might work out what might be a sustainable workload for priests where numbers of priests are decreasing and the demands on those who are in ministry increasing. During the gathering it was announced that an inter-diocesan conference for members of Parish Pastoral Councils would take place in May, while in August Bishop Michael will lead a pilgrimage for young people to the Jubilee events for youth in Rome. Please continue to keep these deliberations in your prayers.
