Reflections from our Holy Father Pope Francis
Let us too have greater courage in witnessing to our faith in the Risen Christ! We must not be afraid of being
Christian and living as Christians! We must have this courage to go and proclaim the Risen Christ, for he is our peace,
he made peace with his love, with his forgiveness, with his Blood, and with his mercy.
