PGMA's Easter Message |
Malacanang (31 March 2002) |
| As the
culminating point of the entire Christian ecclesiastical year. Easter is the most awesome
of the mysteries of faith because of the profound truth it offers mankind: that after
death there is resurrection, that after every trial and suffering there comes redemption,
and that even as we carry the heavy crosses of life, there is rebirth awaiting at the
journey’s end. Let Easter resurrect in us the noblest virtues that will make us endure as nation and as a people. These are qualities of love for our neighbors, justice for every wrong, peace for the troubled, strength for the weak, help for the poor and needy, and unify to enable us to live and work together as brother Filipinos to all. On this glorious day of the Risen Christ, the blessings and joy of Easter to one and all. |
