"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has given us new life to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3).
Living Easter means entering into the mystery of Jesus Christ, who died for us and rose from the dead. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Risen One. In His Passion, through the offering of His life, He showed us His love to the utmost. Let us allow the love, peace, light, and strength that emanate from Him to penetrate our being and the world. Let us be touched by the Risen Lord and fill the world with the love that transforms death into life.
May love transform the lives of so many people who experience loneliness, hunger, war, the insecurity of having nowhere to go and the fear of love. May the little ones of this earth feel in the Risen Christ the power of peace, the power of solidarity and their own strength. May creation, so wounded by human actions, experience renewal and our care for our common home.
Dear sisters, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us the strength to move forward together as pilgrims of hope and to spread more love among ourselves and wherever we are, especially to those who suffer most.
We sincerely wish you a happy and hope-filled Easter.
