Happy Easter!

 

Dear Friends,

Greetings from IMCS Asia Pacific and Happy Easter!

We are going through a crisis right now. The “COVID-19 health and humanitarian crisis is a serious global concern. We’ve never experienced a crisis quite like this before. We have many problems and challenges, education, health, employment, inequality, migration, gender equality, and Climate change is one of the major challenges of our time and the safety of our loved ones. Discrimination has existed for a long time and it needs to be ended so that we could live together in peace with equality.

Of course, the greatest fear of all from this virus is the fear of death, but the message of Easter is that death has been conquered. There is hope because God sent Jesus into our world.

The experience of our shortcomings in facing the pandemic and death of our family members, friends, colleagues, and loved ones, makes us understand that from now on nothing will be the same. We must share our resources, our capacities, our talents and create new forms of work and new employment; live a moral, social and financial solidarity (cf. Laudato Si’, 2015: 156, 157), considering the fundamental needs of humanity: health, education, human rights, and spiritual life. Easter marks the beginning of a new epoch: a time for healing and restoring dignity for all. “God loves you”; “Christ saves you”; “Christ is alive” (cf. Christus Vivit, 2019).

Happy Easter!
