Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome and Successor of St Peter died this morning – Easter Monday – at 7.35am. May the risen Lord receive him! His passage to eternity will be made on a tide of prayer rising from every corner of the earth.
Easter
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. […] What I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures […]. Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:1-3.20
May the blessings of the Risen Lord be with you on Easter and always, and may His love surround you like a warm embrace. Happy Easter to you all!
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the preparation, running, and cleanup of our Holy Week celebrations. A big “Thank you” goes out to all who were able to attend and participate. Each of you made this Holy Week truly special!
