He is risen! Alleluia!

May the risen Christ fill your soul with joy today.
May you live as one who has seen the empty tomb and cannot keep the good news to yourself.

In the name of Christ, Alleluia!

We know Christmas can be a difficult time for many people. We are sending love to everyone struggling to see God’s light reflected in them and anyone who finds this period challenging.

Even amidst all the rejoicing, God sees and receives your sadness.

You are a gift. Made with love. Wriggle your body a bit, relax, let go of tension, close your eyes. Take a deep breath in… and slowly out. Open your eyes and look at yourself in the mirror. As you breathe, silently repeat: “I am a gift. Made with love.”

You are a gift 🎁 Made with love ❤️
