“Easter divides the history of salvation into two parts. The part we are in is the part with the radiant future, in a new life given by the risen Christ, which helps us to walk serenely in our faith and to go firmly and courageously to preach the Easter Gospel. Easter is not an event for us to celebrate as a memory, but a life-changing moment of grace that lifts us out of the sorrows and vices of the past and into a new life.”
