The Pope's message of hope at the Easter Vigil

Pope Francis during the Easter Vigil 2023

A Call to Become Builders of Hope in a Difficult World

An invitation to hope

During the Easter Vigil, the Pope launched a strong appeal to all the faithful, urging them to become “messengers of hope” in a global context marked by uncertainty and suffering. His words, spoken by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, resonated as an invitation to reflect on the importance of small daily gestures and choices inspired by the Gospel.

At a time when the world is plagued by conflict, poverty and injustice, the Pope stressed that every individual has the power to bring a message of hope.

Hope as an answer to difficulties

The Pope highlighted how hope can be a concrete response for those who feel oppressed by the burdens of life. “We want to be,” he said, referring to all those who feel defeated or crushed by adversity. This message is particularly significant for women who suffer violence, for abused children and for victims of war and conflict. Easter, a symbol of rebirth and resurrection, therefore becomes an opportunity to renew the commitment to justice and human dignity.

A universal appeal

The Pope extended his invitation to everyone, emphasizing the importance of bringing hope to anyone who needs it. “To each and every one of us, we bring the hope of Easter!” he exclaimed, drawing attention to how every gesture, however small, can contribute to building a better world. This message of hope is not only a religious invitation, but a reminder of the social responsibility of each of us. In an age in which the winds of death seem to prevail, the Pope urges us to become builders of a brighter future.
