Easter 2017: Come, Lord Jesus!

Apr 15, 2017

Easter greetings and a reflection by Chiara Lubich published in 1992
Pasqua_2017-01 “Come, Lord Jesus”! Looking at you, our vocation to love will know no fear. Awaiting your coming, we will build this life well and, as soon as the next life opens up before us, we will plunge into the adventure that knows no end. You have conquered death and, in this our prayer, we feel you have conquered death in us too, in our hearts. “Come Lord Jesus!” always, in all of us. There will not be death, but you. There will be the Risen Lord; and this is already Easter. Best wishes to you all for a glorious, uninterrupted Easter, one that is fruitful, indeed very fruitful, for us, for the Church and for the world.

Chiara Lubich

Brotherhood, being children of the same Father, can be the root of every kind of pacifism. In this excerpt from the “Catholic Revolt”, Igino Giordani wrote almost an invocation, a poetic appeal that compels us to look up and opens our eyes to who our brother is, that brother who may be labelled as an enemy, as a foreigner, as a migrant, but is always a brother. It is an appeal written back in 1925, that still touches our deepest chords and challenges us to be builders of peace.
