CHRIST IS RISEN. HE IS TRULY RISEN!
CRISTO HA RESUCITADO. VERDADERAMENTE HA RESUCITADO!
Easter Message 2025
Dearest brothers and sisters,
Christ is risen! He is truly risen! Alleluia!
This is the cry of the Church, the shout of victory that breaks into our world. It is the echo of Heaven. And I invite you to let that cry rise from your heart as well — not only as words, but as a new way of seeing your life.
Christ is risen! Death has been defeated. Sin has lost its power. Jesus, who suffered and died on the cross, now reigns as Lord and Savior. The tomb is empty! He is alive!
In Christ suffering, He has entered into our wounds. In His death, He has embraced our brokenness. And in His resurrection, He has given us the power to begin again — to rise above sin, fear, and even death itself.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a far-off event we celebrate from a distance. It is God’s answer to our deepest fears, wounds, and weariness. It is the proof that no failure is final, no sin too great, no night too dark. The tomb is empty — and that means there is hope for you.
This Easter, I invite you to open your heart to this Good News: Whatever feels dead in your life can be made new. Whatever burdens you carry can be laid down at the foot of the Cross. Whatever darkness you face is not the end of the story — because the tomb is empty.
Christ has entered into your life — your suffering, your family, your story — and He comes to bring resurrection. Not only at the end of time, but now. In your marriage. In your past. In your struggles. In your heart.
Let Easter be more than a day. Let it become a way of living: a life that announces with every word and every gesture: “Christ is alive!”
The world is waiting to see Easter, not just in churches, but in you. We experience this mystery not as a far-off event, but as a living encounter with Christ Himself. He is here. He is alive. And He comes to meet you.
Let us not keep this joy to ourselves. Easter is a mission — to proclaim with our lives that love is stronger than death. Let us become witnesses of this light in a world so often surrounded by shadows.
To all of you and your families, I wish a blessed, holy, and joyful Easter. May the Risen Christ fill your hearts with peace, hope, and courage. May His victory be your strength. And may we walk together in the power of His resurrection, today and always.
Christ is risen! He is truly risen! Alleluia!
Peace of Christ be with you.

Mensaje de Pascua 2025
Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡Verdaderamente ha resucitado! ¡Aleluya!
Este es el grito de la Iglesia, un grito de victoria que irrumpe en nuestro mundo. Es el eco del cielo. Y te invito a que ese grito brote también desde tu corazón — no solo como palabras, sino como una nueva forma de mirar tu vida.
¡Cristo ha resucitado! La muerte ha sido vencida. El pecado ha perdido su poder. Jesús, que sufrió y murió en la cruz, ahora reina como Señor y Salvador. ¡El sepulcro está vacío! ¡Él está vivo!
Cristo, en su sufrimiento, ha entrado en nuestras heridas. En su muerte, abrazó nuestras debilidades. Y en su resurrección, nos ha dado la fuerza para comenzar de nuevo — para levantarnos del pecado, del miedo y hasta de la misma muerte.
La resurrección de Jesús no es algo lejano que celebramos como un recuerdo. Es la respuesta de Dios a nuestros miedos, nuestras heridas y nuestro cansancio más profundo. Es la prueba de que ningún fracaso es definitivo, ningún pecado es demasiado, ninguna noche es tan oscura. ¡El sepulcro está vacío — y eso significa que hay esperanza para ti!
Esta Pascua, te invito a abrir tu corazón a esta Buena Noticia: todo lo que parece muerto en tu vida, Dios lo puede renovar. Las cargas que llevas, las puedes dejar a los pies de la Cruz. La oscuridad que enfrentas no es el final — porque el sepulcro está vacío.
Cristo ha entrado en tu vida — en tu sufrimiento, en tu familia, en tu historia — y viene a traerte resurrección. No solo al final de los tiempos, sino hoy. En tu matrimonio. En tu pasado. En tus luchas. En tu corazón.
Que la Pascua no sea solo un día más. Que se convierta en un estilo de vida: una vida que anuncia con cada palabra y cada gesto: “¡Cristo vive!”
El mundo está esperando ver la Pascua, no solo en las iglesias, sino en ti. Este misterio no lo celebramos como algo lejano, sino como un encuentro vivo con Cristo. Él está aquí. Él está vivo. Y viene a encontrarse contigo.
No guardemos esta alegría solo para nosotros. Pascua es una misión: anunciar con la vida que el amor es más fuerte que la muerte. Seamos testigos de esta luz en medio de un mundo que tantas veces camina en tinieblas.
A ti y a tu familia, les deseo una Pascua bendecida, santa y llena de alegría. Que Cristo resucitado llene sus corazones de paz, esperanza y valentía. Que su victoria sea tu fuerza. Y que caminemos juntos en el poder de su resurrección, hoy y siempre.
¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡Verdaderamente ha resucitado! ¡Aleluya!
La paz de Cristo esté con ustedes.
