EASTER MESSAGE 2021

“God triumphs, but the palm of victory passes through the wood of the cross.”

Pope Francis

The Easter story gives us hope that the sufferings we have today will be defeated by the God who redeemed us from evil and death. United with Him and with one another, let us be full of courage to continue to face trials, and sufferings especially the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. May our presence be the strength of those who are weak because of sickness, and losses. Let us offer our sympathy for the victims of Asian hate crimes and wish enlightenment for the perpetrators.

With Mary, our Ina, who sang, “my soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,” let us always be joyful!

Happy Easter! May God bless you!

ROLANDO J. TRIA TIRONA, OCD, DD.
