Archbishop Jason Gordon said belief in the resurrection of Christ should enable people to look past hurdles in their lives and have faith that Trinidad and Tobago will get better. He said people who received the risen Christ should not be people who are negative and bitter.

Speaking to a packed congregation at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Independence Square, Port of Spain, on Easter Sunday, Gordon said there was no place for "sour-faced" Christians, as said by Pope Francis, and reminded the congregation whatever they were facing, they know it was not the ending because of the resurrection of Christ.

“We know in the end all things will be well, and if you find all things are not well right now, you know it is not yet the end.
