Dear Brothers:

Joyous and renewing Easter 2023 under the deep gaze of God the Father, the fire of the Holy Spirit and the joy of the whole Church under the ever attentive and maternal gaze of our Mother Mary. Easter is an invitation to live in a "state party" even amid the fighting of everyday life. Every Easter is a challenge to give a reason for our hope to this world (1 P 3-15). This hope has its name: Jesus Christ and is based on a fact: Resurrection. We are witnesses of the Risen Christ present in time and history. That is the raison d'être. And this reality, lived in a manner totalizing, kicks off the light and strength that prevents frustrations, yearnings and regrets. If the presence of Jesus Christ was not resurrected live, not understood our call (as baptized, Priests, Religious / as). The power of the resurrection of Jesus, the sending of the Holy Spirit, transforms our weakness. The fruit of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is to communicate the Spirit to become witnesses. She kneads a witness to the power of the Spirit and awareness of one's weakness. You can not be witnesses at times. The charism received fully captures the colors and life person to leave the Risen One glimpse and transparent. But no witness of Jesus Christ dead and risen but is in ecclesial communion (in Jerusalem). Jesus does not lend itself to sniper game, for they are great. We are witnessing the Lord as long as we are not carriers of our own interests and selfishness, our personal popularismos to gain affection and fame at the expense of the great truth of the Gospel. Our authenticity and identity are manifested with joy and the joy of being what one is from the life and words: Witness of the Risen Christ who is present and to come.
