“Christ is risen, truly risen”. And to be a sure that the Son of God is reborn every day in our lives, Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana proposes to review the presence of Jesus in the daily life of a good Christian: “I experience that I am loved, I never feel alone, I feel great love for my brothers and sisters, I live the experience and culture of forgiveness. I’ve stopped fearing, even death. My king is love, I have peace and confidence and I transmit them, I always notice fresh the flower of hope. I feel in me a source of joy that is not exhausted. In my nights I always have a light, my sufferings already make sense by the cross. I am not seduced by the gods of the earth; the poor are my favorites, I’d rather give my life than take it away. I hope and advance the kingdom of life, I await the triumphant return of Jesus Christ, I glory on the cross. I only wait in Jesus.” If so, he says, “Christ is risen, truly risen.”

In commemorating the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the life of the world sprang, Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana, asks to pray to God the Father for all the people for whom his Son has died.

In her opening today, April 1, Holy Thursday, the day when the Church celebrates the institution of the Eucharist, Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana, invited us to share with our brothers what we have, to help them… This, he said, “will make you feel great happiness that you will see then multiplied in heaven.”

I give infinite thanks to the Lord for allowing me to live in the midst of this Galilee, to stand there so that I may do my vocation, that which he has whispered to me and which I ask will encourage me every day to build with a simple faith.
