Sehr
geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe MitarbeiterInnen!
Wir haben
heuer Ostern in einer besonderen Weise gefeiert, an
die wir uns noch lange erinnern werden. Vielleicht
sind uns dabei manche Aspekte des Osterfestes neu
aufgegangen. Vielleicht ist damit auch jene
Ostererfahrung in uns gewachsen, die zunächst wohl
nur sehr leise die Jünger und Jüngerinnen Jesu nach
der Auferstehung des Herrn erfüllt hat.
