A Joyful Palm Sunday Gathering in Curryhills
The Focolare’s monthy community meeting took place on Sunday 13th April in the Focolare Centre in Curryhills, Prosperous. The morning began with everyone sharing a meaningful moment of unity, reflecting on the Word of Life, “I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (https://vimeo.com/showcase/9489605) The children’s involvement in animating the liturgy set a joyful and uplifting tone bringing the celebration to life with their energy and creativity.
After a shared lunch break, the children headed outdoors to enjoy games and activities while the adults gathered for a reflective session. During this afternoon program, the adults delved into a meditation based on Chiara Lubich’s understanding of “Jesus Forsaken” (https://www.focolaremedia.com/video/jesus-forsaken-ep4-point-guide-living-spirituality-unity) It was a profound moment of contemplation, shedding new light on how to live each day in deeper unity, even through the most challenging moments.
At the end of the day, everyone felt refreshed, inspired and more closely bonded as a community—filled with renewed hope as we journey towards Easter. Thank you to everyone who made the day so special, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
