This is Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington. As we enter the most solemn week in the Christian faith, we do so confident in the promise of what awaits us on Easter Sunday. No matter the conditions and situations we face, the Good News of Easter is constant and unchanged. We know, for certain, that Jesus turned darkness to light, suffering to glory, and even death to life. The Good News of Easter is that Jesus is alive and with us! We are not overwhelmed by our crosses but find strength in the Lord to carry them. We do not despair but find our hope in the newness of life that Jesus promises to all who follow Him. So, confidently let others see your love for God and your joy and serenity in following his ways. May Our Lord Jesus bless you and your families with his peace at Easter, and always.
