Pope Francis - quote on the Easter season

I love this quote from Pope Francis about the Easter season:  ”The Gospel of Easter is very clear: we need to go back there, to see Jesus risen, and to become witnesses of his Resurrection. This is not to go back in time; it is not a kind of nostalgia. It is returning to our first love, in order to receive the fire which Jesus has kindled in the world and to bring that fire to all people, to the very ends of the earth." (Pope Francis, Easter Vigil Homily, 2014).   We are indeed an Easter people each day of our lives.  May we be open to the joys of the Easter season.
