I am proposing therefore to make Easter Resolutions instead. Several factors favour resolutions being made at Easter. The weather is much better than at New Year, and consequently my mood is better. And today the weather is lovely. There are signs of new life in the garden, and in the forest where we have just been for a walk. I have recently been to confession, and have been cleansed of my sins. And, above all, The Lord is Risen from the dead, so there is new hope for the human race. Anybody who thinks that I am on the right track is welcome to join me. Sean

Having made an in-depth confession the week before Easter, there was a sense for me too of having a clean slate, sins forgiven, and a resolve to try and live a more God-focused, God-trusting life. I also took advantage of the Holy Father's absolution in the benediction at the end of Urbi et Orbi! I will try to walk forward in faith and trust, trying harder to bring the light of Christ into my family and my work place etc. I would also like to be more disciplined in prayer, attend Mass more often and a more ordinary resolution ~ to begin letter-writing again, and reconnect with some friends who I used to write to regularly.
