Easter Sunday

The liturgy in the Abbey is magnificent, culminating in a three-hour-long Easter vigil, complete with baptism.

An echo of the early church; but in the much smaller children’s service of Easter Sunday, one comment from the homily remains: As Mother Teresa said “love consumes the ego within”.

I had been concerned the evening before with the ego of the ceaseless certainty of the brain and the deeper true self beneath, this comment seemed particularly appropriate.
