Dear brothers and sisters,

May the lord give you peace!

All the Christianity throughout the world is living a very particular Lenten season. Masses are closed to public in many Countries and here in England as well.

But the Lord Jesus is with us, He has promised to be with us, always! He will never leave us alone, nor will He deprive us of His Holy Spirit.

This time looks like an extended Holy Saturday, the only day of the liturgical year in which no Masses are celebrated… the silence of the holy sepulchre fills the air and everything is still. Jesus lies dead in the tomb. But death has not the last word over Him! Love overcomes death.

What kind of love is it? God’s unconditional, unexpected, immeasurable love for each of us.

So let us love God and love one another, let us pray and support one another in this difficult time.

May God bless you all and give you His peace!
