HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER’S EASTER MESSAGE

 –

JULIAN CALENDAR 2009-

The great day of the Resurrection of Our Lord is upon us. The great day, that enlightened the world with joy and gave the purpose to our existence. The day above all days and the feast above all feasts. I am joined by my wife Crown Princess Katherine, sons Prince Peter, Prince Philip and Prince Alexander in wishing that this Holy Day remind us that we are all God’s children and that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is a call to find within ourselves what is good, for our sake and for the sake of general salvation.

We pray to the Lord to give us strength and wisdom to overcome all pain and trouble. We pray that we will work together for the benefit of Serbia and everyone in our country for today’s and future generations. We pray that during these days, when the global economic crisis and various natural and human-induced disasters caused by negligence are threatening countries and nations all over the world, that people who are elected to govern will have the wisdom, strength and responsibility to design and implement measures of recovery, peace and progress during this difficult times that are upon us and that await us in the future.

We pray to Lord Resurrected to bless and save our devastated compatriots in Kosovo and Metohija, and everywhere where in the world where there is suffering, pain, injustice and violence. On the occasion of the forthcoming holy feast of Christ’s Resurrection, I extend to you my warmest congratulations. Once again my wife and sons join me to extend our warmest wishes, and we extend to you faith, peace, hope and love. Christ is Risen! Indeed, He is Risen!

ALEXANDER II
