Grace and peace in the Lord! This treacherous and unruly war, which would have been quite patricidal if it had continued as it had begun, has also made us weary. 3) God has heard the prayer of the Church, who may also repay the authors according to their works, undertakings and plans, so that their joy may be turned into sadness, just as our sadness is turned into joy. And Christ has in truth adorned and rehearsed this paschal season with a new death and a new resurrection.
