Happy Easter 2024

The Apostle Paul says: “if Christ has not been raised, vain is our faith and we are still in our sins… Now, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have died” (1 Co 15:17-18.20). 

Today we know that our faith is not in vain, our sins are forgiven and the doors and windows of heaven are wide open forever. 

Happy Easter!!!

Blessed Good Friday

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed.” (Is 53:3)

May the wounds of our Lord heal the wounds of all those suffering all over the world and bring consolation to all the afflicted.

Blessed Good Friday!!! 

Blessed Palm Sunday

Hosanna to the son of David!!!

Despite the war all the Christians and people of good will gathered in Bethphage to start the procession commemorating Jesus’ entrance in Jerusalem. At the end of the beautiful and participated procession, the Patriarch of Jerusalem delivered a message of comfort and encouragement to  his flock reminding everybody that the world is not conquered by weapons but love: Christ conquers death with his death and resurrection. 

He expressed his closeness to the brothers and sisters of Gaza and vibrantly appealed for the return of the pilgrims whose presence is of vital importance for the local Church of Jerusalem.

As we begin the final leg of our ascent towards Easter, let us keep our eyes, minds and hearts focused on God’s sacrifice for our salvation and continue to serve the Lord in our brothers and sisters, especially those who are the most in need.

Blessed Holy Week!!!
