Christ, my hope, is risen!
"This is a different “contagion,” a message transmitted from heart to heart – for every human heart awaits this Good News. It is the contagion of hope....
This is not a time for indifference.....
This is not a time for self-centeredness....
This is not a time for division....
This is not a time for forgetfulness....
Indifference, self-centredness, division and forgetfulness are not words we want to hear at this time. We want to ban these words for ever! They seem to prevail when fear and death overwhelm us, that is, when we do not let the Lord Jesus triumph in our hearts and lives. May Christ, who has already defeated death and opened for us the way to eternal salvation, dispel the darkness of our suffering humanity and lead us into the light of his glorious day, a day that knows no end.
With these thoughts, I would like to wish all of you a happy Easter." ~ Pope Francis
