However, the experience of death is overcome by the resurrection on Easter Sunday. "The sadness - comments the young Catholic - is overcome by the knowledge that comes the time when Jesus rose from the dead." For this, he concludes, "in this Lenten season we prepare to welcome Jesus and celebrate the risen Christ at Easter."

 Fr. Edmond Cruze, a priest of the church of Holy Cross, explains that "there are over 400 young people in the parish and they are very active." The idea for yesterday was their initiative; they have raised the funds, out of pocket money. "The young people – he stresses - are learning to give." The seminar is also an opportunity to "deepen their faith and understand the meaning of the Passion of Christ to the world today."    Among the participants of the meeting was Mrinal Kanti Michel Baro, who "offered the Mass" in thanksgiving for having escaped, March 19, 2008, a terrible car accident. His wife was seriously injured but by faith in Jesus and "the help of the Virgin Mary," they were saved. Both have recovered and are "now we are preparing with a stronger faith to live more firmly the resurrection of Christ."
