Happy Easter

I decided to move my own blog from the church website to my own. I want to work on posting some posts on the wider topics in social work etc. and figured having my own web site would maybe give a wider audience. For the last month I have been posting on both sides, but this is getting time consuming.

So my posts will be on the following site:

https://frtomthoughts.blog/2026/04/06/happy-easter/

This is my Easter homily.

I do not know if there can be a permanent link from the church blog but I can look into it.

Thanks for reading

Simon who had been entrusted with the name Peter; the rock upon whom the Church would be built. Judas trusted with the money of the group and one trusted to give the alms to the poor.

Mary's waste of money

The first three days of Holy Week give us three different people to pray with. Today, we look at Mary, the sister of Lazurus, who anointed his feet with precious oil. She was doing an act of welcome and hospitality and did not hold back. Her lavish act shows us how we are to treat the Body of Christ. We are not to give our excess but go all out. I think of the number of times someone will give something to clothes drive that is worn out and that person will not wear. Somehow,
