Easter Message

Easter is a time of renewal and hope for Christians around the world. It marks the victory of life over death, of grace over sin, and of communion over desolation. As Pope Francis reminds us, Easter is a “passage” that we must all make, a journey from darkness to light, from fear to confidence, from war to peace. This journey is not an easy one, and it requires faith, courage, and solidarity.

One of the key messages of Easter is the power of prayer. During Holy Week, the Pope calls on us to pray more intensely for the war-torn people of Ukraine, and for all those who suffer from conflict and violence around the world. He reminds us that non-violence is the path to progress and that we must work towards a more widespread culture of peace. This message is echoed by the Dalai Lama, who emphasizes the importance of inner values in promoting harmony and happiness.

The Pope also reminds us of the need for solidarity with those who are suffering from natural disasters and other tragedies. He calls on us to pray for the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, as well as the tornado in Mississippi. These events remind us of the fragility of life and the importance of compassion and support for those who are affected by adversity.

At the heart of Easter is the belief in the sacredness of every human person. The Pope reminds us that every individual is inviolable and that we must work towards a society that respects the dignity of every person, no matter their condition. This message is particularly important in a world where discrimination, inequality, and violence are still all too prevalent.

The author also wishes to add a couple of messages from the Dalai Lama. He reminds us that the source of a happy life is within us. He emphasizes the importance of inner values, such as compassion, kindness, and empathy, in promoting harmony and well-being. He reminds us that education alone is not enough to combat the troubles in the world, but that we must also pay attention to our inner selves and cultivate the qualities that make us truly human.

Easter reminds us of the power of faith, prayer, and solidarity in promoting peace and well-being in the world. As we celebrate this season of renewal, let us remember the importance of respecting the dignity of every person, of promoting non-violence and inner values, and of standing in solidarity with those who suffer from adversity. Only by working together can we create a world that is more just, more peaceful, and more humane.
