This year, at the beginning of Lent Pope Francis invited us to enter the Lenten exodus in order to free ourselves from slavery. God sustains our hope-through an ecclesial, communitarian, and personal journey of conversion – to lead us to the land He wants to give us. We hope each one of you could profit of this time offered.
During this Holy Week, the most important time of the year for our Christian life, let us continue walking closely with Jesus. This is the time to live in solidarity with those who suffer. It is in their pain, in their vulnerability, that we can recognize Jesus himself giving life for us on the cross, loving us to the end.
Let us pray with the words of Pope Francis asking the Lord for “the grace of being internally moved by the celebrations of the coming days, so that our hearts and our lives will truly be transformed.”
Let us remember that the crucified and risen Lord goes before us to Galilee, that is, to our everyday life. There, we will see Him. There, we can encounter Him. Especially when we meditate on His Word, when we contemplate His Life.
For this Easter time, we wish you to be surrendered to the Word and to allow the Living Lord to transform you continually into Himself. May the new Life take root in you and bear the fruit of deep relationships with yourselves, with every neighbour, and with God, who is “all in all”.
Happy Easter!!!
