course is difficult, one year after the earthquake in Italy that caused 300 deaths, many of which also caused serious human negligence, continue to have hope.
Nor can we forget the blast at the station of Viareggio, the many geological disasters that occurred in Sicily, Calabria and in many other parts of Italy.
Not to mention the thousands and thousands of deaths in Haiti and its destruction?
And wars, terrorism, starvation and thirst, racism, unemployment, drugs, diseases that often leave no escape, ice hells of loneliness or lack of communication between people ...
face of all this and more in front, to wish "Happy Easter" may seem pointless or ridiculous.
Yet, absolutely no denying the dramatic reality of these facts, I think that giving in to despair to add drama to the drama, I believe, is tantamount to saying to those who are already very ill, "For you there is hope tomorrow you'll be worse!"
So, greetings such as Easter and / or Christmas should not be construed as a certain close our eyes to problems, but as wanting / to force us ... because everyone has someone.
And each of us tries to do everything possible as a human being filled with all imperfections that are so typical of human beings.
setting then it does not from a religious point of view but rather general and secular, perhaps we could see the whole story of Christ as the symbol of all who suffer unjustly, but are / will find their redemption.
And I think we can do similar speech for the figure of Job.

In any case, without illusions but also without despair, I wish you a happy Easter to all and all ... with my whole heart!
