Saint Gertrude Parish - Lasne

In Eastern icons of the Resurrection, Christ is depicted breaking down the gates of hell and, stretching out his arms, grasping the wrists of Adam and Eve. He does not save himself alone, he does not return to life alone, but he brings all of humanity with him. This is the true glory of the Risen One: it is the power of love, it is the solidarity of a God who does not want to save himself without us, but only with us. A God who rises only by embracing our misery and raising us up to a new life.
