Many times we feel discouraged, tired and pessimistic in our daily life and it presents us such obstacles that will be confronted, mainly, when one desires the road with Christ and is combating so many various ideas that this pluralistic society presents us and tries to convince us in each moment of false truths and many gods.

It appears to us as a cross to heaven and a painful one. There are moments that we think that we cannot continue to carry it.

But if, in fact, we understand the sense of the passage that the Cross proposes to us, of the full darkness for the full light and eternal with the Resurrection of Jesus, It goes to say that we will continue to give a sense of the cross in our daily life and in the form to which we are disposed and are happy to carry our cross and do this today all for Jesus. Today I want to be ready to carry my cross for the realization of the will of God in my life on the road to eternal life, where there is a light that never goes out.

My family and I are happy in being able to participate in the night of the Easter vigil, to renew our baptism and to continue as a family serving the Lord. We are addressing that which is necessary with the grace of the Holy Spirit and the presence of Mary who makes us Servants of the word and will of God.

We have a way to do go on the road and to learn and to overcome, but the desire and the love of God is always better.

The sign of the cross accompanies us throughout the day.

Happy Resurrection! Happy Cross! Happy Easter!, Happy Life!
