Good morning and welcome to BBC One's coverage of the Pope's Easter | :00:22. | :00:35. | |
message, as the church worldwide gathered to celebrate the climax of | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
Holy Week, the day when Christians mark the resurrection of Jesus | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Christ. St Peter's Square in Rome has been decorated with 35,000 | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
flowers, described by the Vatican as an expression of joy to mark the | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
resurrection of Christ. And having just presided at the celebration of | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
Mass, the Pope is about to deliver his Easter message, which will then | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
be followed by a blessing. As you can see from these live pictures, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
thousands have travelled here from all over the world to hear the Pope | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
speak, filling the giant piazza on this most important and significant | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
day in the Christian calendar. This is in fact Pope Francis's fifth | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
Easter, and comes between two significant moments in his papacy. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
For those within the Roman Catholic Church, there has been the year of | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Mercy, which ran from December 2015 until the end of last year. The | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
second moment concerns those outside of the Church, those of other | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
faiths, because in less than two weeks' time, Pope Francis will | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
travel to Egypt for what commentators are calling the most | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
significant interfaith visit of his papacy thus far. The visit, which | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
was planned earlier this year, comes after two bomb attacks on Coptic | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
churches in Egypt on Palm Sunday. As you can see, Pope Francis has | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
arrived on the balcony. Surrounded by flowers. | :02:17. | :02:45. | |
The pageantry and beauty of this occasion, celebrated every year. | :02:46. | :04:18. | |
TRANSLATION: Dear brothers and sisters, happy Easter! | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Today, throughout the world, the Church echoes once more | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
the astonishing message of the | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
The ancient feast of Passover, the commemoration of the liberation | :04:30. | :04:46. | |
of the Hebrew people from slavery, here finds fulfilment. | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
By his resurrection, Jesus Christ has set us | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
free from the slavery of sin and death, and has opened before us | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
All of us, when we let ourselves be mastered by sin, | :05:03. | :05:14. | |
lose the right way and end up straying | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
But God himself, our shepherd, has come in search of us. | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
To save us, he lowered himself even to accepting death on the cross. | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
"The Good Shepherd has risen, who laid down | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
and willingly died for his flock, alleluia". | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
In every age, the Risen Shepherd tirelessly seeks us, | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
his brothers and sisters, wandering in | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
With the marks of the passion - the wounds of his merciful love - | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
he draws us to follow him on his way, the way of life. | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
Today too, he places upon his shoulders | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
so many of our brothers and sisters crushed by evil | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
The Risen Shepherd goes in search of all those lost | :06:27. | :06:37. | |
in the labyrinths of loneliness and marginalisation. | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
He comes to meet them through our brothers | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
and sisters who treat them with respect and kindness, | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
an unforgettable voice, a voice calling them | :06:51. | :07:02. | |
He takes upon himself all those victimised | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
by old and new forms of slavery, inhuman labour, | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
illegal trafficking, exploitation and discrimination, | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
He takes upon himself children and adolescents deprived | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
of their carefree innocence and exploited, | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
and those deeply hurt by acts of violence that take place | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
The Risen Shepherd walks beside all those forced | :07:35. | :07:47. | |
to leave their homelands as a result of armed conflicts, | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
terrorist attacks, famine and oppressive regimes. | :07:54. | :08:05. | |
Everywhere, he helps these forced migrants to encounter | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
brothers and sisters, with whom they can share | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
In the complex and often dramatic situations of today's world, | :08:13. | :08:29. | |
may the Risen Lord guide the steps | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
of all those who work for justice and peace. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
May he grant the leaders of nations the courage | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
they need to prevent the spread of conflicts and to put | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Especially in these days, may he sustain | :08:43. | :08:55. | |
the efforts of all those actively engaged in bringing comfort | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
and relief to the civil population in Syria, | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
prey to a war that continues to sow horror and death. | :09:09. | :09:21. | |
May he grant peace to the entire Middle East, | :09:22. | :09:49. | |
beginning with the Holy Land, as well as in Iraq and Yemen. | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
May Jesus sustain the efforts of those in Latin America who are | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
committed to their societies. May the Good Shepherd | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
remain close to the people Somalia and the | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
Democratic Republic of Congo, aggravated by the grave famine | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
affecting certain parts of Africa. May it be possible for | :10:13. | :10:38. | |
bridges of dialogue to be built, by continuing to fight | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
the scourge of corruption and to seek viable and peaceful | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
solutions to disputes, for progress and the | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
strengthening of democratic institutions in complete | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
respect for the rule of law. May the Good Shepherd come | :10:53. | :11:11. | |
to the aid of Ukraine, still beset by conflict | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
and bloodshed, May he accompany every effort | :11:15. | :11:15. | |
to alleviate the tragic sufferings of those | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
affected by the conflict. The Risen Lord continues | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
to shed his blessing May he grant hope to those | :11:34. | :11:34. | |
experiencing moments of crisis and difficulty, | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
especially due to high unemployment, this year Christians of every | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
confession With one voice, in every part | :11:42. | :12:00. | |
of the world, we proclaim the great | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
message: "The Lord is truly | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
risen, as he said!" May Jesus, who vanquished | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
the darkness of sin and death, And so Pope Francis concludes his | :12:25. | :13:11. | |
homily, and we moved to the Easter blessing. The cardinal deacon | :13:12. | :13:21. | |
announces that the Pope's blessing, offered to those in the square and | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
those listening and watching this broadcast around the world, will | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
contain an expression of God's forgiveness offered to all who hear | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
it, those present in person and those receiving this blessing | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
through the medium of television, radio and online. | :13:39. | :14:07. | |
May the holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, in whose power and authority | :14:08. | :14:19. | |
we have confidence, intercede for us with the Lord. Through the prayers | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
and merits of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin and blessed Michael, the | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
Archangel, the bust John the Baptist and the holy Apostles Peter and | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Paul, and all the saints, may Almighty God have mercy on you and | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
with your sins forgiven, Murnan may Jesus Christ lead you into | :14:37. | :14:37. | |
everlasting life. Maybe Almighty and merciful Lord | :14:38. | :14:51. | |
thank you indulgence, absolution and remission of all your sins. Time for | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
a true and fruitful pennants and always repentant heart, the grace | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
and consolation of the holy spirit and final perseverance in good | :15:03. | :15:03. | |
works. Pope Francis there, offering the | :15:04. | :15:33. | |
blessing of Almighty God, the father, the sun and the Holy Ghost, | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
that it would extend the more those. And now his final greeting. I would | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
like to wish a happy Easter to all of you who have come from Italy and | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
different countries, as well as to those who are connected through the | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
media. Made the Easter message of Christ risen revive the hopes of | :15:59. | :16:02. | |

special thank you to those who have gifted us and made decoration with | :16:16. | :16:21. | |

with others the joy and hope that he offers us. Please do not forget to | :16:50. | :17:01. | |
pray for me. Happy Easter and goodbye. | :17:02. | :17:21. | |
Pope Francis concludes with that blessing in his Easter message. He | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
spoke of the way Christ has come down to us, he said to save as | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
Christ lowered himself even to accepting death on the cross. Today | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
we proclaim the Good Shepherd has risen who laid down his life for his | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
sheep. He also spoke about those victimised by old and new forms of | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
slavery, in Labour, illegal trafficking, exploitation and | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
discrimination. He also referred to the violence that children and | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
adolescents suffer and spoke of those acts of violence that take | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
place, in his words, within the walls of their own home. The Risen | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
Shepherd, he said, walks beside all those who are in suffering. | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
Just before he preached these images were captured by our cameras as Pope | :18:22. | :18:31. | |
Francis greeted thousands around St Peter's Square. | :18:32. | :18:44. | |
He travelled, greeting all of those who were waiting, waving, and on | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
several occasions had to hold onto his hat because of the wind. He | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
spoke earlier at the Mass, and then during his sermon just now of the | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
complex and often dramatic situations that present themselves | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
to today's world. He also pleaded for leaders of nations to have | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
courage, back courage he said that they need to prevent the spread of | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
conflicts and to put a halt to the arms trade. | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
And Pope Francis continues to be concerned for those places where | :19:28. | :19:36. | |
religious minorities are persecuted in just over two weeks he will | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
travel to Rome where there were those two bomb attacks in Egypt. And | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
in his message he said this dollar in the complex and often dramatic | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
situations of today's world, may the Risen Lord guide the steps of all | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
those who work for justice and peace, may he grant the leaders of | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
nations the courage they need to prevent the spread of conflicts. It | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
is a prayer that all of us can assent to. From myself and the | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
entire BBC television production team, goodbye and a very happy and | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
peaceful Easter to you. | :20:22. | :20:23. |
