Dear Friends,
Today is Easter Sunday
In the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the people greet each other this morning with the words Khristòs anésti!(Christ is Risen!). They respond, Aléthos anésti! (He is truly Risen!)
On behalf of the Jesuit Community,may I wish you all a peaceful and hope-filled Easter.
Enjoy the signs of Easter in the resurgence of nature all around us – especially in the profusion of daffodils and cherry blossoms.
Saint of the Week
Given that we are in the Octave of Easter, there is no saint celebrated this week.
