The Day of Resurrection - 1

These lovely dahlias in Petersham Nurseries form a fitting image for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time.



The day of resurrection!
earth, tell it out abroad;
the passover of gladness,
the passover of God!
From death to life eternal,
from earth unto the sky,
our Christ hath brought us over
with hymns of victory.


Have a Happy Sunday!

What an optimistic & lovely start to the day!

I plan to use the other two verses of this splendid hymn by St John of Damascus (he wrote it in Greek) over the next couple of Sundays. I particularly like the third verse which I will feature on Sunday 7 October. I have some other nice flowers to cheer us up!
