On the lips of the catechist the first proclamation must ring out over and over: "Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you.

We must look for him without ceasing. Because if he has risen from the dead, then he is present everywhere, he dwells among us, he hides himself and reveals himself even today in the sisters and brothers we meet along the way, in the most ordinary and unpredictable situations of our lives. He is alive and is with us always, shedding the tears of those who suffer and adding to the beauty of life through the small acts of love carried out by each of us.

The whole of salvation history is the story of God looking for us: he offers us love and welcomes us with tenderness.

There are so many religions and each one has its different ways of following God. I follow Christ: Jesus is my God, Jesus is my Spouse,Jesus is my Life, Jesus is my only Love, Jesus is my All in All; Jesus is my Everything.

We must love our white brothers, no matter what they do to us. We must make them know that we love them. Jesus still cries out in words that echo across the centuries.

Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.
