Jesus is Risen! Alleluia! In the joy of those words, I wish you all a blessed and happy Easter. In these days of Easter, we rejoice that Jesus, who is for us Light of the World, rose from the dead. In his resurrection, we find our hope and our joy. This celebration is at the heart of our Christian faith. When we open our hearts to the wonder of this message, we walk with Jesus, sharing in his life and his peace. His message is one of hope for all. As we renew our promises of baptism at Easter, may we who profess faith in his Resurrection strive to bring Jesus’ hope to all, particularly those who are poor and those who live in fear. Let us live in the Light Jesus shows us as we strive to love as he has shown us. I pray your celebration of this great feast is a time of grace. A blessed Easter to you and your loved ones.
