Jesus Christ
 


It is important to remain united to Jesus, to depend upon Him, because without Him we can do nothing… Each of us is like a branch which lives only if it grows every day through prayer and participation in the Sacraments, through charity and union with the Lord. Those who love Christ, the true vine, produce fruits of faith for an abundant spiritual harvest.

Jesus Christ
 


God truly showed Himself, He became accessible, He so loved the world 'that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life'. And by the supreme act of love upon the Cross, by emerging Himself in the abyss of death, He conquered death; He rose again and opened the doors of eternity for us too.
