Christ is Risen!

This year, by happy coincidence, Easter will be celebrated on the same day by Christians of the Eastern and Western churches. Maria Voce, President of the Focolare Movement, conveys her best wishes.

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
