Pope Francis on Easter Sunday said Jesus's resurrection from the dead gave new hope to an often-weary humanity and issued a plea for peace in countries throughout the world marred by war and violent conflict, the Crux website reports today (April 10, 2023).
Speaking to the roughly 100,000 gathered in St. Peter's Square for his traditional "Urbi et Orbi" blessing to the city and the world, the pope said Easter, the "Pasch" celebration, marks a "passage, for in Jesus the decisive passage of humanity has been made: the passage from death to life, from sin to grace, from fear to confidence, from desolation to communion."
"In him, the Lord of time and history, I would like to say to everyone, with heartfelt joy,'Happy Easter!'" he said.
