Easter 2011: Bringing the Risen Jesus to the streets of the world

Apr 19, 2011

ThIs greeting from Maria Voce invites us to make a renewed commitment in our life in order to give witness.

“Dearest all ,

The Good News that we are still called to live today is that Jesus is risen and is alive in our midst through our mutual love.

The evangelical message of 2,000 years ago is still relevant today and draws us all into a new commitment in life and giving witness.

The wish that I would like to reach each one of our large family everywhere is to always walk with Him, the Risen One, through the streets of the world.”

Maria Voce

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.

This curse of war

Igino Giordani, when writing his memoirs, reflected on the terrible period of the First World War, in which he himself had to enlist, saying, “I saw the absurdity, the stupidity and above all the sin of war…”, as Benedict XV called it, the ‘useless massacre’. His words challenge us to think about how history could teach us to work for peace today, by opposing the new, absurd, useless massacres of our century.
