I stay at home on Easter, I didn’t go to the city of the Archbishops, a place where so many Easters were lived and spent
I didn’t attend the processions, Lauds, Vigil, Gregorian chants in the cathedral
I didn’t walk along the streets following the path of the oratories on the Via Sacra.
I didn’t watch burn the Judas
I haven’t been mixed up in the hustle and bustle of the city that runs form pastry to pastry buying cake and almonds or new clothes to wear
I didn’t walk the streets at dawn where families spread rose petals on the floor and decorate the entrances to receive Christ at home
I didn’t hear the bells ringing to say “Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah… the Savior is risen”
I didn’t go to the Cathedral to wear the word of Christ
I didn’t hear the bell announcing the arrival of the compass
I couldn’t get together with family and friends to celebrate
I didn’t see the delight of seeing the younger ones with their eyes shining when they receive the chocolate eggs and the happiness of the elderly for sharing these moments
BUT…
Distributes greeting, shared charms, concerns, hugs and virtual Kisses
I prepared everything as if we were many, but only for two
Today,
Not for the first time, but just one of many times I pray for all of humanity and that the Eaters we live today represents the hope and the end of the desert to which we were “called” to live
Vows form a Holy Easter and stay be salve
