Vatican City (Vatican), April 20 (LaPresse) – In the homily sent for Easter Sunday, read by Cardinal Angelo Comastri, the Pope urges people “not to stand still” and to “seek Jesus,” who is not “a hero of the past” and should not be thought of “as a statue placed in a museum hall.” Jesus, the Pope emphasizes, is “present everywhere, He dwells among us, He hides and reveals Himself even today in the sisters and brothers we meet along the way, in the most anonymous and unpredictable situations of our lives.” “The greatest hope of our life” is “to live this poor, fragile, and wounded existence clinging to Christ, because He has conquered death, He overcomes our darkness, and He will defeat the darkness of the world to make us live with Him in joy, forever,” continues Bergoglio, who stresses: “The Jubilee calls us to renew within ourselves the gift of this hope, to immerse our sufferings and concerns in it, to spread it to those we meet along the way, and to entrust to this hope the future of our lives and the destiny of humanity.”
