Alleluia
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 “We are Easter people,” St. Augustine said centuries ago. If that is true, Easter is all around us — in parents who sacrifice for their children, in health care workers serving the sick, in the suffering and poor who don’t lose hope, in those who suffer injustice yet still love. In these, and in so many others, the dying and rising of Christ takes place.
               Happy Feast Day and Happy Easter to you all,
                                    +Blase J. Cupich
