Easter

Pope Leo emphasized the importance of the Gospel’s reach to “those oppressed by the evil that corrupts history and confuses consciences.”

“After death, there is the resurrection,” Father Romanelli said. “Death is just a passage and that is why happiness and joy must be experienced on Easter.”

This power “is God himself for he is Love who creates and generates, Love who is faithful to the end and Love who forgives and redeems.”

“Let us abandon every desire for conflict …  and implore the Lord to grant his peace to a world ravaged by wars and marked by a hatred and indifference “

“This Easter proclamation embraces the mystery of our lives and the destiny of history, reaching us even in the depths of death.”

Easter “invites us to lift our gaze and open our hearts,” the pope said, and announces that “the power of death is not the final destiny of our lives.”
