Peace, not just a dream

Mar 24, 2016

Despite being submerged in so much that is negative, Peace amongst us is the presence of the Risen Lord. Easter greetings from Maria Voce, Focolare President.

“Looking at this profoundly wounded world, unity and peace might seem just a dream.

May the power of the Risen Lord, who overcame death, every death, forever, strengthen in us the boldness to believe, hope and act so that fraternity may become the norm for shared living between different cultures and peoples.

I wish you all a Happy Easter, with the Risen Jesus in our midst!”

Maria Voce (Emmaus)
