CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND. FRIDAY 15TH MARCH 2019

 

No matter the race, creed or colour

Of those peacefully assembled there

There can be few acts of greater evil

Than the massacre of people at prayer

HEAR THE HEAVENLY ANGEL SING,

Hear the heavenly angel sing,

Perched with the host on high

Effortlessly poised in spiritual grace

Serenity upon its celestial-face

As they glorious sing their joy

A resonating sound, true and pure 

EASTER SUNDAY

 

Easter Sunday

Is the most important date

In the Christian calendar

And Celebrates

The Resurrection

Of Jesus Christ

And beginning

The Great Fifty Days

Of Eastertide

CRUCIFIX

 

You were the love

Of the world

And we nailed you to a cross

We tried to kill love

With nail in hand

And spear in flesh

But we failed

You pleaded for us

Apologised for us

Then you died for us

You’re the love

Of the world

HOLY SATURDAY

 

Holy Saturday

Is not a Mass

But a time of

Prayer and fasting

And meditating on Christ’s

Passion and Death

His Descent into Hell

And his Resurrection

EASTER VIGIL

 

The Easter Vigil,

Is the longest and most solemn

It begins after sundown

With The Service of Light

When a new fire is kindled

Symbolising the Light of salvation

Which is used to light

The Paschal candle

Symbolising the Light of Christ

Reminding all that

Christ is Light and life

HOT CROSS BUNS

 

I’ve always loved hot cross buns

But they give me heartburn

You can eat one and it’s gone

But like the Lord they return
