HE IS RISEN!
Alleluia, alleluia!
Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed:
let us celebrate the feast then, in the Lord.
Alleluia!
Gospel: John 20:1-9
He must rise from the dead
It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb’ she said ‘and we don’t know where they have put him.’
So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed. Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
Notes from meeting on 26 March 2024:
Picture
A picture of Jesus on the Cross.
Our Lord is near death, and it seems as though the Heavens and all who reside there and the stars, the birds of the air are reaching down to Him and the Earth and all that it contains rises up to the Cross and meet within Jesus. They flow into Him and as the Light is extinguished all is silent, slowly the Sun reappears and all returns to normal, The Earth seems somehow renewed and great Peace descends.
"Death where is your victory, for Christ my Son has conquered death, In Him is Mankind’s Salvation, He who was bruised, beaten and cruelly Crucified is Risen and is with the Father on High.
My little ones rejoice as I did on the Third Day, the Light of The World is with us and nothing can come between us and the Love of the Risen One. Live His Word, Love His Way and always remember you are temples of His Body, His Body given up for you!
Rejoice for your Way To Heaven is made! My Son Loves you and all is completed in Him.
Mary your most Joyous Mother."

Message from CHARIS:
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Pentecost Mass 2024
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at this year’s Mass for Pentecost at 1:00pm at St Mary’s Cathedral Church, Newcastle, on Saturday 11 May 2024. The theme for this year’s Mass is 'Renewed in the Holy Spirit' and our music will be led by the Emmanuel Music Group and the African choir. Please use the attached poster to promote this Mass on your church notice boards, and encourage your friends to share this opportunity for the Renewal family of Hexham & Newcastle to come together in joyful communion.
New official CHARIS website for England and Wales
We are pleased to share with you the launch of a new website for the CNSC, the national team for CHARIS in England and Wales - www.charisuk.com.
Explaining the vision behind the website, Web Editor, and member of our own CDSC, Andy Drozdziak said:
Pope Francis has spoken constantly of the ‘newness’ of the Spirit and that God is always doing a new thing. We pray that the new website will go towards the mission of building God’s Kingdom - informing God’s people of the wonderful things the Holy Spirit is doing in Catholic Charismatic Renewal in England and Wales.
One of the words we received when we started to develop the site came from Isaiah 49:6: ‘I will also make you a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.’ There was a sense among us that the Holy Spirit wants to use our site to point people towards Jesus, the light of the world and our only hope. Please pray that God will use it powerfully - and do get in touch if you have any stories.
With every blessing,
John
