Peace to you all from the Garden loved by the Lord.
We are celebrating the Passover of the Lord, "the Lord is with us to the close of the age" (cf. Mt 28:20). Despite this, we cannot hide the evident presence of evil that brings many people back to feel and find themselves again on Good Friday, just think of the ongoing conflict, in which we ourselves are unable to understand how these horrible facts are happening in the third millennium. We would like to do something and often we do not know what: to pray, intercede and offer. We have shared several times that the battle we are called to live is another, in fact ¡the real struggle is of a spiritual nature! (Eph 6:12).In this regard we share a thought of St. John Paul II, which we consider of great consolation: "The limit that God has imposed on the action of evil is the mystery of the Incarnation and Redemption" (St. John Paul II, Memory and Identity, Introduction). The Polish Pope reformulates this wonderful divine intervention by giving it the appellation most dear to him: it is the mercy of God. The world and each of us need the Lord, we need the Prince of Peace, the merciful face of God.
May this awareness help us to contemplate once again God's way of acting, the merciful face of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Triune and One God who lives forever and ever. Amen.
The Lord is Alive, He is Risen. Hallelujah.
