Pope Francis gave his traditional"Urbi et Orbi" Easter message on Sunday, appearing from the central loggia of Saint Peter's Basilica overlooking the Square below where he had just presided over the Easter morning Mass.
In Jesus, the passage of humanity from death to life, sin to grace, fear to confidence and desolation to communion has been made, the Pope declared, wishing everyone a Happy Easter. "May we too make haste to progress on a journey of reciprocal trust: trust among individuals, peoples and nations," he said."May we allow ourselves to experience amazement at the joyful proclamation of Easter, at the light that illumines the darkness and the gloom in which, all too often, our world finds itself enveloped."
May the Lord"comfort the wounded and all who have lost loved ones due to the war," he continued, and may prisoners return home and the entire international community strive to end war globally. May the Lord support peace and reconciliation efforts in Ethiopia and in South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he recalled. And he prayed for consolation for victims of international terrorism, especially in Burkina Faso, Mali, Mozambique and Nigeria.
