Christ is alive! He is our hope. Everything he touches becomes full of new life. Christ is alive and he wants you to be alive! He is in you, he is with you and he never abandons you.
However far you may wander, the Risen One is always there. He calls you and he waits for you to return to him and start over again.
When you feel you are growing old out of sorrow, resentment or fear, doubt of failure, he will always be there to restore your strength and your hope. Christ is alive and he remains with us. Risen, he shows us the light of his face, and he does not abandon all those experiencing hardship, pain and sorrow.
May we let ourselves be renewed by him.
Happy Easter!
~ Pope Francis
