It is a difficult time for everyone. For many, very difficult. Let us try, if we can, to

make the best use of this time: let us be generous; let us help those in need in our

neighbourhood; let us look out for the loneliest people, perhaps by telephone or

social networks; let us pray to the Lord for those who are in difficulty in the world. Even if we are isolated, thought and spirit can go far with the creativity of love. This is what we need today: the creativity of love.

We will celebrate in a truly unusual way, which manifests and sums up

the message of the Gospel, that of God’s boundless love. And in the silence of our cities, the Gospel will resound. The Apostle Paul says: “And He died for all,

that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him Who died for

them and was raised again” (2 Cor 5:15). In the risen , life conquered death. This Paschal faith nourishes our them hope. It is the hope of a better time, in which we can be better, finally freed from evil and from this pandemic. It is

a hope: hope does not disappoint; it is not an illusion, it is a hope. Beside each other, in love and patience, we can them and was raised again” (2 Cor 5:15). In the risen Jesus, life conquered death. prepare a better time in these days. Make a gesture of tenderness towards those who suffer, towards children, This Paschal faith nourishes our hope. It is the hope of a better time, in which we and towards the elderly. The Lord will soon deliver us all from evil. Excerpt from Pope Francis Holy Week Message, March 2021 can be better, finally freed from evil and from this pandemic. It is a hope: hope does not disappoint; it is not an illusion, it is a hope. Beside each other, in love and patience, we can prepare a better time in these days.
