This site comes from Melbourne, from lockdown again for millions of us, more than five weeks to go.

May Jesus, our Passover, grant strength and hope to doctors and nurses, who everywhere offer a witness of care and love for our neighbours, to the point of exhaustion and not infrequently at the expense of their own health.

Christ’s resurrection is not a “magic formula that makes problems vanish,” he continued, “it is the victory of love over the root of evil.” This victory “does not ‘by-pass’ suffering and death, but passes through them, opening a path in the abyss, transforming evil into good,” he added.
