“Our society needs to be healed, to make peace with our world, to make peace with our neighbors and to make peace with each other in the way that the Risen Lord taught us,” writes the Bishop of Macau, Most Rev Stephen Lee Bun Sang, in his Easter Message for 2022.
During the period of the Triduum that leads up to Easter Sunday, Catholics are invited to recall step- by-step the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the fundamental moments that are at the heart of their experience of faith. The Triduum ceremonies were mainly concentrated in the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady this year.
Easter is that time of the year when every Catholic must remember that there is life beyond a physical death, and it is that life in Jesus that we must look toward.
Catholics can fully live the Paschal mystery by embracing Christ’s suffering with conviction. To live the spirit of Easter season to its fullest is to walk together as humanity and to recognize the suffering of others, accepting that true joy is only found in the Risen Christ.
