"Jesus came... and said to them: Peace be with you!"
(Jn 20:19)
"Men and women of the third millennium!
Let me repeat to you:
open your hearts to Christ, crucified and risen,
who comes with the offer of peace!
Wherever the Risen Christ enters,
he brings with him true peace!
May that peace enter, first of all, every human heart,
the unsoundable depth, not easy to heal."
John Paul II, Easter Message 2002
As we celebrate the mystery of the Passion and Resurrection
of Jesus Christ, our one God and Savior,
we wish everyone the experience of the living presence of the Savior,
who comes with the gift of peace in our hearts
to kindle within us the light of hope, which will help us believe
that the impossible is possible, that after night comes the day,
that darkness will not prevail over the light,
that good will triumph over evil.
May God’s love dwell in our hearts, inclining them
toward daily choices that foster unity, peace, and goodness
in the joy of the Resurrection.
Blessed Easter 2026
