**LOS ANGELES, CA —** Bp. Anthony of the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West has issued his Paschal [message](https://www.antiochian.org/regulararticle/2775) for 2026, proclaiming the centrality of Christ’s Resurrection and its transformative meaning for the faithful. Addressing clergy and laity alike, he emphasized the Resurrection as the foundation of Christian hope and life.

Reflecting on the significance of Pascha, Bp. Anthony wrote, “Jesus Christ’s Resurrection from the dead means everything,” underscoring that without it, faith and human existence lose their ultimate purpose. He contrasted the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits, which result in fear, with the eternal promise revealed through Christ’s victory over death.
