Easter Blessings
Dear Beloved of Trinity,
As we draw ever closer to the celebration of the Resurrection, I share with you these beautiful words of Easter blessing from John O’Donohue:
"On this Easter morning, let us look again at the lives we have been so generously given. Let us lay down the useless baggage we carry—old pains, old habits, old ways of seeing and feeling—and find the courage to begin again.
Life is so short, and we are no sooner here than it is time to go. We must use to the fullest the time we have been given. We often underestimate the good we can do. A kind word, a listening ear, a helping hand—these can be the light someone needs in a time of darkness.
We weren’t put here to chase wealth or status. We are here to seek the light of Easter within our hearts—and once we find it, we are meant to share it freely and generously.
May the spirit and light of this Easter morning … bless us, watch over us, protect us on our journey, and draw us out from the shadows into the light of peace, hope, and transfiguration."
Easter is a miracle, a promise, and a calling. The truth of Easter is a sacred invitation to reawaken our souls to the gift of life and the infinite possibilities before us. The Easter proclamation stirs us from the slumber of indifference, opening our hearts to see the world with renewed wonder—to feel again the joy of simply being alive, and to walk more fully and freely in the way of the Risen Christ.
May we embrace, with joy and renewed spirit, the days before us. And may the light of Easter continue to guide, sustain, and encourage us for the journey yet to come.
Easter Blessings,
Paul

The readers will be Jakob Wilcoxson, Ada Matthews, and Brit Whittle, with a special guest appearance by Mtr. Kara as the ghost of the "long-dead master" in Little Gidding. The reading, which will last approximately one hour, will begin immediately following Compline. This will be the April activity for the Oasis LGBTQ+ Fellowship.

Holy Week
Dear Beloved of Trinity Church,
Holy Week invites us to step into the heart of our faith—not as distant observers, but as participants in the mystery of love, suffering, and resurrection. It is a sacred journey that transforms us, not simply through ritual, but through presence. As we walk with Jesus from the palms of triumph to the shadows of the cross, we are called to bring our full selves—our hopes, our griefs, our longings—to the story. This week is not only about remembering what happened long ago; it is about encountering the living Christ here and now, in bread broken, in feet washed, in silence kept, and in light kindled anew. When we fully enter into Holy Week, we are opened to the truth that death is never the end, and love always has the last word. Come—bring your whole heart, and be changed by the grace that unfolds in these holy days.
Peace and Blessings,
Paul
