April’s Hope and Joy

By: Veronica Leighton

 

We convey to our readers, advertisers, and friends, real good feelings of love with the spirit of Easter’s joy and harmony. Let’s always remember the meaning of this celebration, the resurrection of Christ in our lives.

Easter’s good news: Pope Francis calls for Ukraine-Russia peace, end to Middle East conflict for his Easter message. “Open the hearts of the entire international community to strive to end this war and all conflict and bloodshed in our world, beginning with Syria, which still awaits peace.” He also prayed for the people of Turkey and Syria affected by devastating earthquakes in February, including those left homeless by the disaster. (More Easter message Veronica’s Vibes on page 5 regarding the latest scientific evidence on Jesus’s Shroud).

As we are now enjoying the excitement and beauty of spring, we feel great moods changes as we all believe that hope comes with the blooms and spring scents.

VT staff are showing their exhilarating feelings of new hopes with revitalized energies as you read their exciting articles in this issue.

Had the wonderful chance to enjoy a luncheon tete-a-tete with VT columnists Melody Dizon (Health Matters, page 20) and Rev. Nancy Abiera (On A Bright Side, page 29) at the popular modern resto RH Rooftop OakBrook. Every bite and every minute with these lovely ladies was a complete delight.
