Come into the parlour there’s a welcome at the door. Come into the parlour and you won’t be on your own, there’s Mick McGee, and Rafferty, Foley, and Muldoon. Come in enjoy the taste of water. That is an Irish song about friendship, and open, giving hearts .The Easter story, tells that Jesus came through ‘closed doors’. A scholar told me, that, was Jesus way of explaining, that He was now present, in a new way. The Resurrected way, is through His Spirit. The Irish song catches one way of presence .. through friendship...the open heart, that notices another, that compliments, that argues in debate, not in bitterness or anger, but with the good will of people at heart ...the belief, that there is a basic goodness in every human person. The new President of U.S.. speaks that kind of language.....we don’t want war with any nation...we extend the hand of friendship. Maybe, some of us, get too self sufficient, forgetting that we are totally dependent beings, given birth, and the breath that sustains us, with the earth that mothers us. There is resurrected presence too, in mother earth. We are not makers of nature or environment, We are stewards, carers. Indeed the child too comes THROUGH parents, but FROM GOD. May Easter help us to respect people and the wonders of our world.
