Finally, he recalled that “joy, when shared, increases. Let us share the joy of the Risen Lord and may the Virgin Mary, who at Easter rejoiced in her resurrected Son, help us to be her joyful witnesses.”
At the end of these words, he led the prayer of Queen Coeli, imparted the apostolic blessing and imparted the blessing. Next, he thanked the messages of “closeness and prayer” that he has received on the occasion of Easter. “I would like the gift of peace to reach where there is the greatest need. To the populations devastated by war, by hunger, by any form of oppression.”
