Easter Sunday

"Share today in the joy of your heavenly Mother, who is living the blessed hour of the resurrection of the Son Jesus. Each of my sorrows is assuaged and every wound is closed at the moment when Jesus, in the splendor of his glorious body, draws close to me, takes me in his arms, and presses me to his pierced Heart, from which flows a fount of most powerful light that surrounds me completely and plunges me in a sea of immense blessedness.
How beautiful is my Son, in the splendor of his glorious and divine body!
Gone now is the memory of his despised and stricken body, scourged and wounded, pierced with thorns and nails, crucified and put to death, taken down from the gibbet and placed in the sepulchre. Now his body is filled with energy and strength; shines brightly in its divine beauty; gives forth refulgence and power; emits rays of supernatural light; fashions a new harmony of life and of peace; opens like a gentle caress and closes every wound of my motherly sorrow. The Son and the Mother are again united in one single joy.

It is the paschal joy. It is the joy which takes hold of all humanity, made anew according to the designs of the Father.
It is the paschal joy, which comes down upon his entire creation, renewed and redeemed by his bloody sacrifice.
It is the paschal joy, which reaches Hades to set free from the darkness of death the souls of all the just, awaiting in expectation.
It is the paschal joy, which permeates all men, who have returned as children into the arms of the Heavenly Father.
It is the paschal joy, which brings cheer to the painful journey of the Church, called to live today the hours of Gethsemane and Calvary.
It is the paschal joy, which penetrates into the hearts of all my children, comforted and encouraged to live through the painful time of the purification and the great tribulation.
It is the paschal joy, which brightens up your hope and gives a sure response to the great expectation of all.
It is the paschal joy, which enters into your epoch and prepares it for the greatest event of all history. Because the Easter Resurrection will attain its complete fulfillment only when Jesus will return in glory to establish his Reign in your midst, in the fulfillment of the will of the Father on the part of all, and in the perfect glorification of the Most Holy and Divine Trinity."
