Christ is Risen! Every suffering, separation, division, failure, and even death itself can become for us, because of Him, a source of light and peace. Called to give witness to the great message of the Resurrection, let us renew our common commitment to give hope and joy to humanity in this time of momentous change. With best wishes for a Happy Easter!

Maria Voce

The Holy Spirit “recreates” them as a new humanity and this vocation, today, concerns not only each of us, but is fully realized when we are “community” and support for the other.This is how the Gospel becomes life and the mission a new Pentecost.
