ZAGREB, April 17 (Hina) - The Archbishop of Zagreb Josip Bozanic on
Monday forwarded the faithful an Easter Message stressing the
importance of recognising the good and the truth.
In the message, issued by the Public Relations Office of Zagreb's
Archbishop, Bozanic asserts that, in the times of various pressures
and everyday life filled with unhappy news, "the word of the Church
and the announcement of the Gospel of hope is very important".
"We need to open our eyes to the good in us and around us, to the good
in the environment and Croatian society we live in. We need to
recognise the good of today, as well as that of the past," Bozanic
said in the message.
"In the present Croatian public we must fear imprecise judgements
which are imposed as the trend of the present moment, particularly
regarding our recent past. We need biblical wisdom to be able to
correctly differentiate good from evil, and evangelical courage
which knows how to recognise the time of purification as a chance
for a better growth and progress".
"What we need not fear its the truth. 'You shall know the truth and
the truth will free you' (John 8:32), our Teacher said. We come by
freedom through truth. We pray for the gift of courage whose sign
and witness is the Holy Father, so we can also pass the threshold of
hope, leaving all up to the leadership of the Spirit of the
Resurrected Christ," the message reads.
