Easter Greetings: OSM Prior General


Alleluia!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Happy Easter!
I cordially greet and wish you all the best in this moment in which we celebrate the Resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ. The Easter refers to an event that happened once and for all, but at the same time has a concrete impact on our everyday life. The words of St Ireneus: “the glory of God is the fullness of man”, are the light in which we can understand better the meaning of Easter. The Resurrection of the Lord is not only a guarantee of our faith but it sustains also our hope and invites us to live in love. Man gives glory to God and manifest his faith in the Resurrection when he lives fully his humanity and his sentiments of Christ. To live the Resurrection is to live in fullness every moment of our life, in that way our very existence is a reflection of the light of the Risen. As disciples of Christ we are called , therefore, to be witness of life and to oppose to any form of death. The time of Easter is the time of Christ and the time of man, the time of the Holy Spirit and the time of the Church: in Christ the universe resurrects and renews itself, man returns to the spring of life and the Spirit introduces the Church into an understanding of the mystery of Christ.
We live, therefore, an intense paschal time and that the light of the Risen Christ illumines our life and fill us with hope and peace.
Holy Mary, Woman of Eater, glory of the Spirit, receive the prayers of your Servants.
Happy Easter!
