“‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.’ (John 11:25)

 

“Dear Brother,

 

“With all my heart I wish you a joyful Feast of Easter! God has given us a victory over despair and fear. May the Resurrected Christ fill you with joy in the triumph of life and freedom over death and darkness. Christ is risen!
