Easter is such an incredible message of joy and hope that it can’t be confined to just a single day, or a week—Easter Sunday begins an entire season of 50 days when we celebrate, reflect and sing our Easter “Alleluia” … Happy (continuing) Easter, everybody!

The joy of the Gospel consists in this: that God loves us with tenderness and mercy. We are called to make this joyful message resound throughout the world, testifying to it with our lives. May everyone discover the beauty of the love of God manifested in Jesus.

Tomorrow is #DivineMercy Sunday. May we never doubt God’s love for us, but rather entrust our lives and the world to the Lord with trust and perseverance. Let us ask Him for a just #Peace for those nations that are martyred by war.
