Easter Message by His Eminence
Archbishop Filipe Neri Cardinal Ferrao
On this Easter day I would like to extend my cordial greetings to all those who believe in the triumph of Jesus over death and evil and His promise of eternal life. This is what we celebrate today, that Christ did not end up in the tomb, but that He rose from the dead, making us sharers in His new life. Easter encourages us to infuse our society with newness of life and purpose. The Risen Lord invites us to offer hope and support to the needy, the dejected, the outcast and those who live on the peripheries.
As I send out my wishes for a Happy and Grace-filled Easter, I pray that all of us, living in this beautiful State of Goa, may join together in building a society wherein the interests of others will reign above our own interests. May we be challenged to be genuine agents of peace, understanding and goodwill.
I wish you, one and all, a joyful Easter, with abundant blessings of Jesus, the Risen Lord.
