With the gift of the Spirit, we begin, already now, to share in Christ’s rising from the dead. It is this faith which brings peace and hope to troubled hearts in a troubled world.

The faith of Easter does not mean there will no longer be evils in this world, but rather that the evils of this world are no longer the final word.

Suffering has not been removed, but filled with the presence of the Lord, who inspires hope, endurance and above all, love.                                (www.usccb.org)
