Giving life, therefore, means trusting in the God of life and promoting humanity in all its forms: first and foremost in the wonderful adventure of motherhood and fatherhood, even in social contexts where families struggle to bear the burden of daily life, often hampered in their plans and dreams. In this same spirit, giving life means committing to a solidarity-based economy, seeking the common good from which all can benefit equitably, respecting and caring for creation, and offering comfort through listening, presence, and concrete, selfless assistance.

Brothers and sisters, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the strength that sustains us in this trial, even when the darkness of evil clouds our hearts and minds. When life seems to have stopped, to stand still, behold, the Risen Lord still passes by, until the end of time, and walks with us and for us. He is our hope.
