Pope Francis Easter Message (Shortened Version)
Dear Brothers and Sisters, a Happy and Holy Easter!
The Church throughout the world echoes the angels message to the women: Do not be afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised
Come, see the place where he lay
( Mt 28:5-6).This is the culmination of the Gospel, it is the Good News par excellence: Jesus, who was crucified, is risen! This event is the basis of our faith and our hope. If Christ were not raised, Christianity would lose its very meaning; the whole mission of the Church would lose its impulse, for this is the point from which it first set out and continues to set out ever anew. The message which Christians bring to the world is this: Jesus, Love
incarnate, died on the cross for our sins, but God the Father raised him and made him the Lord of life and death. In Jesus, love has triumphed over hatred, mercy over sinfulness, goodness over evil, truth over falsehood, life over death.
That is why we tell everyone: Come and see! In every human situation, marked by frailty, sin and death, the Good News is no mere matter of words, but a testimony to unconditional and faithful love: it is about leaving ourselves behind and encountering others, being close to those crushed by lifes troubles, sharing with the needy, standing at the side of the sick, elderly and the outcast
Come and see!: Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
With this joyful certainty in our hearts, today we turn to you, risen Lord! By your
resurrection, which this year we celebrate together with the Churches that follow the Julian calendar, we ask you to enlighten and inspire the initiatives that promote peace in Ukraine so that all those involved, with the support of the international community, will make every effort to prevent violence and, in a spirit of unity and dialogue, chart a path for the countrys future. On this day, may they be able to proclaim, as brothers and
sisters, that Christ is risen, Khrystos voskres! Lord, we pray to you for all the peoples of the earth: you who have conquered death, grant us your life, grant us your peace!
Dear brothers and sisters, Happy Easter!
The Priests of the Parish, Canon Brendan Crowley and Fr Michael Toomey wish all of our Parishioners a Happy and Peaceful Easter.
