Palm Sunday Passover Northern

was my first Easter (Orthodox) in Russia. From the street, in the dark of night, he approached a swarm of lights wrapped by songs. When the procession reached the church where people are crowded, the doors opened and then I heard for the first time. It was a cheer rending the night. Seemed to spring from an eternal hope and hard resigned. "Vascrese Christos" (Christ has risen!) And then spontaneously, as if trying to assert loudly as indispensable, a chorus of voices answered: "Vaístinu vascrese" (truly risen). Then he I have heard many times, it's almost, almost (to hear it I can never avoid a tingle in my soul) I used to. But that night was the first time. And I cried with joy. Next to me stood a trembling sea of \u200b\u200bsmall lights, colored scarves, tears and joy contagious. Again the cry was raised and the wave of popular jubilation engulfed the words of the pope. And for the third time the same scene. Every night of Passover on the Russian people repeated thousands and thousands of times these words. In life it is going. Without belief in the resurrection of their Lord, without the conviction of this truth shouted until hoarse and tears, Russia in its innermost depths, would be sunk fatalism. To walk more than enough problems in Russia and the outlook is very encouraging. However, each year, Easter, Jesus pours through the veins of this town and gives him hope of feeling and screaming that he is alive and is a future for the world. Resides in St. Petersburg
the north pole of the Claretian mission. The North also exists, brothers of the South and Far West. We are the heirs of him who said that among the five talents, four needles are provoking the compass rose. We are less. We're older. Walk suffering from complex problems. The crises are about seeking someone to devour. But Jesus again is Easter. He invites us to believe, to put forward to the impossible, to go beyond our old docks too familiar. The mission is our reason for being and the mission to save the best of ourselves. Here we dream and facing north. We seem to hear Jesus inviting us to rise above ten degrees north, almost in parallel 70 and venture into the frontier of the mission there. In the North-North, where the habitable world ends, there is very little, they say. Almost nothing. Hungry crowds of the Word of God seems to not walk in these frozen lands and unfriendly. The first shipments have become not just loaded with bunches and romances. But no task and sea to discover. With Jesus in the boat, not afraid. The Easter of the Jubilee is a challenge to return to feel the vertigo of delivery, to say back to him, "what you want" to blow up fears and barriers that prevent us from yelling at everyone "is true, has risen" Hristo vascrese! "" Vaístinu vascrese! "
