Sunday of the Myrrhbearers
After the Crucifixion, the disciples of Christ were devastated. All of their hopes had been dashed. Grief and fear dominated their thoughts. Certain women, however, ignored all such concerns and went about doing things that needed to be done. They prepared spices and went to the tomb, to do with care what had only been done in haste before.

And it is in this simplest of loving duties that they become the first witnesses of the resurrection of Christ. Their example points to the heroic nature of simply doing the right thing, even in the most difficult of times. God grant us the bright witness of His resurrection even in our darkest days. Holy Myrrhbearers, pray to God for us!
Women's Book Discussion Group
St. Anne's Women's Book Discussion Group   will meet  on this Sunday afternoon, April 22 , from 4-6 pm, at Debra Mattingly's house. Bring a snack to share if you wish - we will eat and socialize from 4‑4:30 and will end promptly at 6 pm.

“ More than a million copies and several million electronic versions of this book have sold in less than a year. Everyday Saints is the English translation of the work that has soared at the top of the bestseller lists in Russia since its publication in late 2011. Winner of several national awards including "Book of the Year", its readership spans philosophical boundaries, from the devoutly religious to the vehemently atheist. Surpassing all competition many times over, it was voted the most popular book in Russia for 2012. Open this book and you will discover a wondrous, enigmatic, remarkably beautiful, yet absolutely real world. ”

St. Anne’s Bookstore has copies of the book available to purchase. Plan to join the discussion this Sunday!
