Vatican City, Mar 26, 2005 / 22:00 pm
In his Easter message read this morning by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Secretary of State, at the Vatican, Pope John Paul offered an emotional, intense prayer for conversion, peace, freedom and justice, brought by Christ’s resurrection.
His words follow:
1. Mane nobiscum, Domine! Stay with us, Lord! (cf. Lk 24:29)
With these words, the disciples on the road to Emmaus invited the mysterious Wayfarer to stay with them, as the sun was setting on that first day of the week when the incredible had occurred.
