” “"The Resurrection of Christ gives us the certainty that evil doesn’t have the last word. Comforted by this certainty, we will be able to work hard for a fairer world to be born". With this "wish", made to sound like an Easter wish, the Pope ended the general audience before Easter, which was attended by approximately 20 thousand devotees, in a sunny Saint Peter’s Square. Benedict XVI recalled that forgiveness "which is given to us in the Sacrament of Penance is the source of peace and makes us the apostles of peace in a world in which divisions, sufferings and the tragedy of injustice, hatred and violence unfortunately go on", as well as he added the inability to make it up and start all over again by forgiving". ” “In the first part of the catechesis, as he went over the rites of the Easter triduum, the Holy Father mentioned the agony of the Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane. "In the grips of a great distress, tells the Gospel, Jesus asked his men to stay awake and pray with Him: ‘Stay awake, here, with me’, but the disciples fell asleep". "Even today commented the Pope the Lord asks us: ‘Stay awake, here, with me. We too, like the disciples, often fall asleep". ” “
