Easter Message from Most Rev Peter A Comensoli, Archbishop of Melbourne

Easter Offers A Way Forward:
Friends, Easter invites us to stand at the threshold from night into dawn. In the Gospel, we meet Mary Magdalen arriving at the tomb while it was still dark (Jn 20:1). She carries grief and confusion, yet a fragile hope. What she finds is not an ending but a beginning: the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty. read the full message at melbournecatholic.org/easter26
