IMCS International Team Easter Message to the National Movements
Dear Friends!
It is Easter again! A reason for the faith we hold, the spirituality we live and the life we celebrate as a movement. A time to shout the “Alleluia” from every campus and rejoice in the risen Christ as the cross has become the victory, the resurrection its triumph… Thus leaving the resurrection as the public display of that victory, the triumph of the crucified one.
Easter is a time of love, of family, and of peace. It is a time when we say quiet words of thanks for all that we have including those surrounding us, and for all that the uncertain future holds in the student world.
Easter is a feeling in our hearts of hope, faith and trust as we believe that we are his followers and are therefore co sharers in the victory. It is a day of miracles; a day when our dreams seem zoomed in, thus getting them closer, a time of retrospection for what has been and prospection/anticipation of all that will be.
Easter symbolizes dying away of one’s old ways, renewing self-awareness and making better all our future days.
As a movement, we are called to renewal every day as well by professing our faith in the victorious Christ. And, it is a special time for remembering with love and appreciation the people in our lives and national movements that make a difference. You are the people!
Happy Easter to you all and may the fire of the risen Christ keep burning in our hearts every day.
The International Team
