Easter 2006
"He Is Not Here; for He Is Risen, as He Said."
Matthew 28
I send greetings to those observing the joyous holiday of Easter. On
Easter, Christians around the world join together with family and
friends to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the triumph of
love over death. This is a season of renewal, a time for giving thanks
and praise and for remembering that hope overcomes despair.
Christ's extraordinary sacrifice and compassion continue to inspire
people around the world. His promise of new life gives hope and
confidence to His followers. His service and love for His neighbors
offer a profound lesson for all people.
During this Easter season, we celebrate God's gifts of freedom and
justice. We pray for peace and ask for God's blessings on the brave men
and women who wear our Nation's uniform and their families.
Laura and I wish you a Happy Easter.
GEORGE W. BUSH
