"Almost-May" flowers and green are coming with their splendid show. The freshness of Spring!🌷🍃🌱
Even greater, the joy of Easter that remains in this season. Christ is Risen from the dead, and the foretaste of joy remains with us, carries us, renews its promise to us even in this strange year of 2025 that is so full of sorrows and concerns and trials — in our personal lives, in our society, in our world burdened by the distortion of sin that breeds so much injustice and violence, where war rages in many places and casts its looming shadow of horror over all of us.
The Church rejoices in this Easter Season and “mourns” the passing of our beloved Pope Francis, sorry to be deprived of his physical presence but also astonished by his final days so luminous with deeds and words of mercy. Next month the Cardinals will elect a new Pope. There is no point in worrying about things beyond our power. We must pray from the heart for the Church, the world, and all our needs, and entrust everything to Jesus Christ our Lord.
