Dear brothers and sisters,
Today all creation is resplendent with new light, a song of praise rises from the earth, and our hearts rejoice: Christ is risen from the dead, and with him we too rise to new life.
This Easter proclamation embraces the mystery of our lives and the destiny of history, reaching us even in the depths of death, where we feel threatened and sometimes overwhelmed. It opens us to a hope that never fails, to a light that never fades, to a fullness of joy that nothing can take away: death has been conquered for ever; death no longer has power over us.
