Main news for 12 February 2026

Those who came to the tomb were horrified when they saw the stone rolled away and the angel announcing the news of the Resurrection. Even after his words "do not be alarmed," they continue to feel fear to such a degree that at first they say nothing to anyone.

A meeting with the Higher always shakes a person; it evokes entirely natural fear even in those who were frightened neither by the possible anger of rulers nor by the hostility of "public opinion." But precisely the One who is higher than everything natural constantly says: "do not be afraid!" For He has brought joy.

The joy of the Resurrection, which remains joyful news, however incomprehensible it may seem.
