As part of Holy Week Lesly Condé Ex-Consul General of Haiti in Chicago (August 2004 - May 2018), gives us a message of reflection that we invite you to read and share.

Message by Lesly Condé :

"Dear compatriots and friends everywhere,

At this time of year when every Christian meditates on the life of Jesus Christ, the conditions of his death, and his triumphant resurrection, I invite you to reflect in a special way on the profound symbolism of these extraordinary events linked to the Christian religion. It is a time of fervent prayer and intense reflection.

The life of Jesus Christ on this earth is a perfect example of generosity and humility. In his infinite goodness, God chose this sacrifice in order to bring eternal life within the reach of those of us who have enough faith and perseverance to walk in the footsteps of his son. God loved us so much that he agreed to subject his son Jesus Christ to humiliation, bodily suffering and death for our salvation.

We are at the time of the year when all the lessons of humility present themselves to us in a message of love which is addressed to all humanity. We exist only thanks to the love of the creator, and our solidarity with our neighbor makes us beings worthy of the love of the Lord. We must celebrate this firm solidarity which succeeds in transforming the simple fragile and ephemeral humans that we are into full disciples, and into proud heirs of this eloquent promise of eternal life.

The world is living through particularly trying times. At this time when distance is the rule, we have great need of our Christian faith. Let's be humble and generous.

Lesly Conde."
