With friends this weekend in the city of Bangalore, I attended St. Patrick's, Christ and King and All People's Church. On Sunday night, I spoke before the Interreligious Harmony group. Sitting during the candlelit Easter Vigil mass, conducted in the Tamil language, while the order of service was familiar, I was unable to follow the priest word by word.But speaking the language of the heart, it was no trouble knowing exactly what was going on in the lives of all those in the church. Families, mothers, fathers, grannies and children came together to celebrate the Good News of Easter. The news that even a brutal execution couldn't silence the beautiful teachings of Jesus. We sat together, we broke bread together, remembering we are here to love one another, as we love ourselves.
