A message of hope

Sir, – Thank you for the excellent editorial on Good Friday and the Easter message ("Even in the darkest days, there is always hope", April 10th). It is highly relevant to the suffering and fear evoked by the current pandemic. It also faithfully reflects those Christian responses of care, courage and hope that are so much part of our history. – Yours, etc,

MICHAEL HEFFERNAN,

Whitehall,
