Easter or Passover is a season of Peace

EASTER — PÂQUES — PASSOVER

For me, it will always be LA CHAISE-DIEU

where I have watched and enjoyed

all J.S. Bach’s PASSIONEN and so much more.

Founded in 1043, rebuilt by Pope Clement VI in 1342,

and most of it is still standing with music, tapestries

and a Danse Macabre (XVth century)

Dear Friends and colleagues,

Let’s think of Easter 2022 as if it were less violent and more serene, but we do have to meditate on the Pope’s idea that the West is racist by not treating all refugees with the same care and support. If there can be any hope for Easter, it has to come from the heart and it is the hope elections in the west could be won with the promise of peace and not the clamor and clangor of war. Nearly two thousand years have gone since this Passion and yet humanity has not found its own way to its own resurrection. Do we deserve the world we have, and are, unluckily, messing up?
