The Power of Easter!

Apr 4, 2015

Our Easter greetings through the words of Klaus Hemmerle

20150403-02

“I wish that we could all have Easter eyes

Capable of looking

into death, until we see life

into the hurts, until we see forgiveness,

into separation, until we see unity,

into the wounds, until we see glory,

into the human person, until we see God,

into God, until we see the human person,

into Myself until I see You.

And in addition to this, to see the power of Easter!”

(Easter 1993)

Klaus Hemmerle, “La luce dentro le cose”, Città Nuova, Rome 1998, p. 110.
