Umapela si Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincula para sa tuluyang pagwawakas ng nagaganap na tensyon at girian sa pagitan ng mga bansa sa Gitnang Silangan, partikular na ang Amerika, Israel, at Iran.
Sa kaniyang Easter Sunday message, idiniin ni Advincula ang aniya’y malalang epekto ng digmaan sa ekonomiya at buhay ng bawat isa.
“Christ is risen, alleluia! We celebrate Easter this year in a time of war- a ‘piecemeal’ Third World War, in the words of Pope Francis,” panimula ni Advincula.
Aniya, “This international conflict has brought immense suffering to all of us – from inflation and economic hardship to severe mental and emotional anguish, not to mention the tragic loss of countless lives.”
“While drones and missiles continue to shake the ground of their targets, there is another earth-shaking event that has occurred today – the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This historical event, which has opened our earthly life to the eternal, is the Good News that our world so desperately needs,” dagdag pa niya.

Nanawagan din ang arsobispo para sa pananagutan, para sa agarang aksyon upang wakasan na ang paghihirap ng bawat isa.
“Easter is a nonviolent battle against hatred and hostility. Easter is a summons to all peoples to reject the ‘globalization of indifference’ and the normalization of genocide,” anang arsobispo.
Giit niya, “Together with our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, I call for an end to this senseless war that has brought nothing but suffering and destruction.”
“With my brother bishops, I appeal for accountability, for the relentless pursuit of justice in public governance, and for more urgent action to alleviate the agony of our people,” diin pa niya.
“Maligayang Pasko ng Muling Pagkabuhay ng Panginoon sa ating lahat! Alleluia!” pagtatapos ni Cardinal Advincula.
Ngayong Linggo, Abril 5, 2026, ginugunita ang Easter Sunday, o ang pagkilala sa muling pagkabuhay ni Hesukristo matapos ang tatlong araw, nang Siya ay pumanaw sa Krus ng Kalbaryo.
