While the words of the angels to the women who had come to the sepulcher, “Why are you seeking among the dead him who is alive?”, we have had news of the passing away of Pope Francis from this world to the Father. He had begun his Petrine ministry presenting himself as Bishop of Rome and as Bishop of Rome he concluded it, with the benediction “urbi et orbi”, to the city and to the world.
Easter of the Resurrection
Homily by Fr. Sabino Chialà, Prior of Bose
Matthew 28,1–10
Brothers and sisters,
Christ is risen! He is truly risen!
We have echoed this proclamation, which surprises us every time. Perhaps, as we pronounce these words, we feel somewhat inadequate, as if repeating words too great for us. And yet this is our faith: the proclamation of Christ’s Passover, which we relive not as a simple commemoration of a past event, but as a reality that becomes true here, for us, in this night and in this world of ours.
