The great message of the Resurrection
instills in the hearts of believers profound joy
and invincible hope. 


 
Pope Francis, 21st century

The story of salvation...
begins with a dream of love,
develops as a story of failure,
and ends as the victory of love.

 
Pope Francis

Only the One who from nothingness,
who had called the world into existence
could break the seals of the tomb;
only he could become the source of New Life.

 
St. John Paul II, 20th century

Though lifeless in winter, which stand as though dead,
the trees are green in the spring.
God, knowing your disbelief,
each year effects a resurrection in visible things,
that seeing what occurs in nature, you may believe!

 
St. Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th century

See how mighty is God: in whom death is victory,
and weakness itself is strength;
in whom to suffer is to conquer,
and to endure, is to finish the battle.

 
St. Thomas of Villanova, 16th century

The resurrection of Christ is our hope.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

The Son of Man came to free us from eternal death.

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th century

Hoping in the resurrection,
let our souls be attached to the One
who is faithful to his promises: Jesus Christ.

 
St. Clement of Rome, 1st century
