Our world finds itself in\r\nmany of the same sins and darkness that seem to be eternal companions of the human life-journey. Yet, as\r\nfollowers of Jesus, we are called never to cease hoping for a more just and loving humanity. The hope that\r\nJesus gives us and keeps alive in us is meant to be shared in concrete ways by the way we live our lives,\r\ntreat one another, dedicate ourselves to living out the teachings and guidance of Jesus, and by the way we\r\ncreate a more just and peaceful world in our own little or big ways.\r\nI pray that, at least a few, may breathe a little easier, have a little more hope, and feel more loved and\r\naccepted by the way we live and treat them. I pray that we never keep the hope that our faith gives us to\r\nourselves, but that we share it with others in a way that relieves the anxieties of life.\r\nMay God bless us all on this beautiful Easter. May the light of Jesus resurrect in our minds and hearts.\r\nMay wars cease, may poverty, hunger and thirst cease, may violence of every kind cease, may fear and\r\ninjustice cease. May the hope of Jesus\u2019 resurrection take hold of us, shake us to the core, awaken what has\r\nfallen asleep, motivate our goodness, and make us bold in building a better life for all of humanity.\r\nThis is our hope in Jesus.\r\nHappy Easter. You are in my prayers and in my heart.\r\nFriar Julio<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dear sisters and brothers, We arrive at the great feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord, Jesus, after forty days of sacrifice, prayer and selfless charitable giving.
