Easter Wishes
Author: Bernardine Monastery in Wetlina
✠ Alleluia! ✠
To the beloved Parishioners and Benefactors of our Monastery ✠
"Jesus said to them: 'Peace be with you!' And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord." (Jn 20:19-20)
✠
May the light of the Risen Christ illumine every corner of your hearts and your homes!
❁ Faith - steadfast and living May the message of the Resurrection strengthen your conviction that Christ is alive - today as well, and in your very lives. May faith be not merely a tradition, but a living relationship with the One who said: "I am the Resurrection and the Life."
❁ Love - brotherly and self-giving May the Lord, who gave his life in love to the very end, set your hearts ablaze with his love. May that love transform the ordinary moments of each day: in your families, in your relationships with your neighbours, in your readiness to forgive and to be reconciled.
❁ Hope - steadfast and joyful The Resurrection of Christ is the pledge of our hope that the final word does not belong to death and sin, but to God, who is love. May this hope give you strength amid life's burdens and fill your spirits with joy throughout the entire year.
