For me, living Easter in daily life means accepting and acknowledging sadness, anger, and the fear of failure. It also involves knowing how to name my emotions. All this allows me to experience the deep joy of Easter in my everyday routine. This inner attitude is not the absence of pain but rather a form of inner peace—a strength that helps me navigate through storms while preserving life’s meaning and finding moments of light in the darkness.

To live the Easter season in my daily life means living joy and hope through ordinary experiences, letting myself be transformed by Christ. I pay attention to the signs of life around me: nature, encounters, acts of love… To witness Christ’s goodness is to be present for others, to encourage them, to offer service even in small things, expecting nothing in return. Whatever I go through, I welcome God's newness to renew myself. Finally, I nourish myself with the Word of God and the sacraments; through daily Eucharistic celebration, I fully live the Easter season.

Living Easter daily, for me, means sharing the little I have with those around me, especially as I see that many people today struggle to make ends meet. As a result, I have adopted a lifestyle of avoiding snacks outside mealtimes. I also make sacrifices—such as giving up the habit of watching movies—to make space for praying the Rosary and other daily prayers.

For me, Easter is life, renewal, the fulfilled promise of love, and hope—the assurance that God has the final say over our lives. Therefore, living Easter daily means that my relationship with others and with myself must reflect this connection to life. I also live it through my faithfulness and my desire to attend daily Mass, nourishing my day with God's presence. In difficult moments, I take a deep breath and stand firm with an inner peace that comes from Christ. I am convinced that I am not alone, for the Risen Christ tells me: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Mt 28:20). As a student sister, I like to offer joy to fellow students who are struggling, helping them where they need it, and also receiving their help when I face intellectual challenges. My greatest wish is that this Easter joy and peace may never leave my heart.
Sr. Léonie of the Eucharist
For me, Easter is a moment of grace, renewed hope, and inner transformation. It is an invitation to fully live “in the light of the Resurrection,” leaving behind all fear, doubt, and attachments that distance me from God. I am convinced that Easter is a time to renew my commitment to follow Christ, living each day as a joyful response to His infinite love. This union with the Risen Christ is a source of inner strength, especially amidst the challenges of consecrated life. It is an invitation to radiate this joy to others and to bear witness to the world through service, charity, and education. It is also a chance to renew my faith and let the Easter hope illuminate my steps. Finally, the joy of Easter is expressed through simple daily gestures: a smile given with love, a task performed with humility, a comforting word for someone in need.
In summary, Easter joy, for me as a Religious of the Assumption, is a feast of transformation. In the Risen Christ, I draw the love, strength, and hope I need to live my vocation fully and radiate this light to others. Living Easter each day means choosing life, hope, and trust in the Risen Jesus.
