My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Jesus Christ is Risen; Easter is our Triumphant Day. We share in Christ's victory over sin and death. With Holy Mother Church, rejoice and be glad. As Christians worldwide celebrate Easter Day, I encourage the Catholic Faithful of the Diocese of Venice to manifest the joy of your Easter Faith.
With Alleluias ringing out in our Churches, may all lift their voices in praise of the Risen Lord and rejoice in the great things God has done for us through Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
Let us not be afraid to embrace the Risen Lord; allow His words and deeds to reflect the light that erupted from the empty tomb early in the morning of the first Easter. Let that be the light that burns brightly in the hearts of all believers.
No matter the challenges you and I face, Easter reminds us that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we have life in his name. He is Risen!
May this Easter Season be a time of joy and hope for you and your family. I extend to you my Apostolic Blessing this Easter. May the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ-Risen from the dead- come down upon you and remain with you forever! Amen. Alleluia!
+ Frank J. Dewane
Bishop of the Diocese of
Venice in Florida
