Last year at the beginning of March, writing my column for the Easter issue of the HighWay, I invited you to participate as fully as possible in the physical pageantry of Holy Week and Easter, to wave palms in the parish parade, wash feet at the Maundy Thursday remembrance of Jesus’s command to love one another, sing out your joy Easter morning.

Most of you who have worked in an office environment know that much of what happens is day to day management: answering the phones, responding to emails, and directing inquiries. That’s true at the diocesan office as well.

Spirituality—Making Deep Connections

I’ve been writing columns for the local newspaper since 2004, just after I had moved to Cranbrook, some of which are reprinted in the HighWay. Recently, someone asked, “Why do you write these columns? What do you hope to achieve?”

Just like Jesus, bursting out of the tomb, we come to these days of spring with a fresh hope of bursting out of the restrictions of this ongoing pandemic. I write this in February, where April looks like it could bring new freedoms, freshness and new life for us all.
