We will cover the papal funeral and discuss the up coming conclave in next weeks podcast.
We have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends for the coming week including the saints for the week. We also reflect on the Easter homilies of Pope Francis from Easter Vigil and the last Urbi et Orbi.
In part three we have some brief reflections on the gospel telling us of Doubting Thomas from the gospel of St John.

CHRIST IS RISEN,
HE IS RISEN INDEED,
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!On this Easter Day, from the all on the C&SI teams we wish you and yours every blessing of this Blessed Day!
On this weeks podcast we are delighted to welcome back our old friend Noirin Lynch to share with us some thoughts on Easter, hope and resurrection.
In part one we have some regular notices but no saints of the week this week as it is the Easter Octave which takes precedence over everything else!
In part three Noirin joins John and Shane to reflect on Luke 24:1-12 which is Luke's account of the going of the Women to the Tomb on Easter morning. It recounts the experience of the group which have been given the title of the Myrrh Bearers - Joanna, Mary of Magdala, Salome, Mary & Martha, Mary the wife of Clophas and Susanna - the first witnesses to the great events we celebrate.
Reflecting on Hope in Easter
Noirin Lynch joins with us this week to share a reflection on Easter. Speaking from her experience of living with and getting treatment for cancer for the last 12 months it is from that experience she shares with our listeners how the language of life transforms our experience and understanding of Easter. But even more so at the moment we have a need for the language of Easter to pull us out of the doom spiral of despair in the world. It is a reminder to us that "Easter is a protect against despair", it is not enough for us to say that Jesus has risen from the dead but rather we live in a post Resurrection world and that should make a difference. Reflecting on Kim Rosen's poem "In impossible darkness" Noirin gives us some deeply moving and thoughtful words to reflect on for this Eastertide.

- C&SI - Pausing to reflect on Holy Week - 13 Apr 2025 (S05E20b) (podcast excerpt)
We have come towards the end of our Lenten journey this year and with the celebration of Palm Sunday we enter into Holy Week and begin to accompany Our Lord towards his Passion, Death and Resurrection.
On the podcast this week we take a slightly different turn and in an extended part 2, starting with Luke's account of the entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday we have a reflection and some sharing about the days ahead and how the liturgies we participate in help us to navigate and enter into the great mysteries which we are about to commemorate.
