The Risen Lord is present among us and asks us, “Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here, he has risen.” (Lk. 24: 5). Help us to move the stone that hinders us from discovering him who is alive.From the introduction…

“The image of the “rolled tombstone” can speak a lot to us this Easter Season. It invites us to retake that image. At this time, the way to life can be seen through that. The Risen Lord is present in the lives of these simple women. Since then they are called to become open doors (or rolled tombstones) because the Lord whom they have followed and loved deeply during those three intense years has confirmed to them that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

As young Christians, catechists, animators and leaders of the Association, we are called to be “doors,” to be instruments of light in the world so that others can move out of darkness, fears and worries and see the Risen Lord who walks together with us, taking our realities and sharing our projects:

* Are we open doors so that others can encounter the God of Life through our words and gestures of service?

* Are our words and ordinary tasks helping others to open their own doors and encounter the God of Life?
* Is Easter for you a special time open to faith wherein which we can experience the living God?
* How many doors to the Risen One shall we open?

The Risen Lord is present among us and asks us, “Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here, he has risen.” (Lk. 24: 5). Help us to move the stone that hinders us from discovering him who is alive.
