Jesus’ death and resurrection is the greatest celebration of all time. During the season of Lent perhaps we strive to bring the bodily discipline and we may have nourished the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity. Nourishing these virtues implies a painful process of life through a kind of death-experience of self by way of dying to our material needs, sensual pleasures, and to our unhealthy relationships. In such a process of life-through-death, we have realized a new life in Christ, which practically means a new kind of relationships with God and with all creation, and this is what we celebrate in the event of Easter. Easter is the celebration of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Just as a seed dies to its individuality to become a fruitful tree, Jesus has showed us the way to die to our individualism in order to rise as the Church to signify the Kingdom. As the assembly of believers in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Church is the first fruit as well as the mission of Jesus’ Paschal Mystery. In his letter to Romans, Paul reminds us that we have died and risen in Jesus through the sacrament of Baptism. Hence, our Christian human existence cannot be the same but witness to the resurrection of Jesus through our historical relationships with each other right here and now (cf. Rom 6:3-11). And for St. Francis, Easter was not an one-time event, but a journey, a process. Francis’ road to Easter began with a profound encounter with Jesus Crucified. and in our new relationships with one another in our Praying before the crucifix in the church of San communities and in our mission. HAPPY EASTER! Damiano, during the first years of his conversion, Francis heard Christ address to him the heart-shaking This issue has a variety of write-ups, consists of good words: “Francis, rebuild my house!” In the course of memories and inspirations of Br.

    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

But I am more prosaic than he was. The future has already begun. It is already here today.
