Saint Gertrude Parish - Lasne

The Easter proclamation is the most joyous, beautiful, and transformative news that has ever resounded throughout history. It is the "Gospel" par excellence, testifying to the victory of love over sin and of life over death; this is why it alone can satisfy the yearning for the infinite that troubles our minds and hearts. It constitutes the pivot of Christian life, around which all other events revolve.

Day after day, we experience so many different things: pain, suffering, sadness, mingled with joy, wonder, and serenity. But through each of these situations, the human heart yearns for wholeness, for profound happiness. And to truly believe in the mystery of Easter through our daily journey means facing life's challenges, being transformed in order to transform the world, with the gentle and courageous strength of Christian hope. In the perspective of Easter, the Via Crucis becomes the Via Lucis: from the Way of the Cross to the Way of Light.
