To all who celebrate—Happy Easter from GIPL!

As we honor the promise of new life, we are reminded that renewal is all around us. May this season inspire us to deepen our commitment to caring for one another and protecting our Common Home. 🌎🕊️

#FaithInAction #CreationCare

Resurrection is slippery, wriggling, wet – a mess and a mystery more often than it is sunlight streaming through white linens. To our kin who celebrate this holiday, we wish an Eastertide of new and renewing life.
