Christ is Risen,

Celebrating 40 days of Easter!
“Even if people cannot yet understand the nature of the spiritual life streaming in through Christ,
in the future they will learn to understand it; then they will know that whoever lets oneself be
permeated by the Christ Impulse, so that the Christ Power draws into one’s inmost being,
can overcome illness through the healing forces one unfolds within oneself.”
Rudolf Steiner, The Spiritual Bells of Easter
