Christ has risen from the dead! Hallelujah! Could there be a more beautiful day to write a letter than the day of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our joy and hope? With him, we walked to Golgotha and empathized with his suffering... Perhaps we could have helped him a little to carry the heavy cross, like Simon of Cyrene. Maybe we were too indifferent to him, like the heartless Jerusalem crowd when they saw him pass by. Surely, we also increased his suffering with the weight of our sins... But today joy should prevail because Christ has risen from the dead!
Hallelujah!... Hallelujah!... Our beloved is happy... What are we missing?
(little sister Magdalena of Jesus /1898–1989/, correspondence IV/22; II/148)
