This year most of us will spend Easter in our homes as our countries and communities face the most difficult and uncertain times in decades. We keep in our prayers and thoughts all those that suffer and the victims of this pandemic across Europe and the world.
We are also close to all YMCAs that struggle to continue being relevant to their societies through the work of committed volunteers and staff. We pray for health authorities and political leaders in each country so that they find positive and effective ways to overcome this virus.
Therefore more than ever we invite you to celebrate the basis of our faith: Christ is risen! This reality strengthens our lives as Resurrection is also an invitation for personal and collective transformation.
