“As Christ greeted us with peace, naway maging handa rin tayong maging instrumento ng kapayapaan. Be set for reconciliation. Hindi magiging totoo ang kapayapaan kung walang pagpapatawad.”
Ito ang pahayag ng ngayong Pasko ng Pagkabuhay, Abril 9, ni Bishop Colin Bagaforo, pangulo ng Caritas Philippines na advocacy arm ng Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
Sa Facebook post ng Caritas Philippines, ibinahagi ni Bishop Bagaforo na ang muling pagkabuhay ni HesuKristo mula sa pagpapapako sa Krus para sa kasalanan ng sanlibutan ay isang kuwento at aral hinggil sa pag-asa, pag-ibig, pananampalataya, at mga himala.
“During the Holy Week, I requested you to take time to stop, look, and listen. To make room for silence, to discern and examine our lives, and to reconnect with our inner beings and with Christ. This Season of Easter, I request you to get ready, be set, and eager to go into the deep,” anang obispo.

“Jesus, on the cross, gave us the assurance that we will never walk alone in our journey. On his triumph against death, he gave us the complete guarantee that beginnings are necessary, and possible. We just need to have faith,” saad pa niya.
Ayon sa obispo, maaaring simulan ng bawat isa ang paggawa ng mabuti at pagbahagi ng kapayapaan sa maliliit na bagay.
“Sa bahay, tulungan mo ang iyong mga kapatid sa gawaing-bahay. At work, learn to agree to disagree. On the streets, smile. Share an ounce of joy with anyone,” ani Bishop Bagaforo.
“Start your renewed journey with small things, subalit palagi, sapat at tapat,” saad pa niya. “Tinupad na ni Jesus ang kanyang pangako. Tayo naman.”
