brothers and sisters with a common destiny and live peacefully with one
another.

Easter, that this is the appropriate time to show it; adding that they
should imbibe and propagate the qualities and attributes that made Jesus
Christ to attain such massive global acceptance and followership.

in all ramifications, people from different religious backgrounds must work
in one accord for a common goal as well as demonstrate true love and
tolerance for each other at all times.
