Fr. Agustin writes: : Today in union with the whole Church throughout the world we proclaim that Christ is Risen, Alleluia! Yes, He is Risen for you and for me. This is the faith of the Church we have come to proclaim on this Sunday as the Easter Alleluias resound all through the world. Christ is Risen for us and that is the cause of our joy. During the fifty days ahead of us Christ comes searching for each one of us, he wants to share his victory with us, he wants to connect his risen life with our lives, he wants to touch all those who need to be raised from the
death of past mistakes, broken relationships, sins, guilt, hate… with the Risen Christ we can pass from slavery to freedom; from sin to grace. The power which raised Christ from the dead, can raise us too. His rising is indeed our rising. We want to wish you all a very Happy Easter!
