King Charles III of the United Kingdom used his annual Easter message on Thursday (17) to reflect on war, human suffering and heroism of those who risk their lives to protect others.
“One of the puzzles of our humanity is how we are capable of both great cruelty and great kindness,” said the monarch, describing what he called “paradox of human life.”
“At one moment, terrible images of human suffering and, in another, heroic acts in countries devastated by war, where humanitarians of all kinds risk their own lives to protect the lives of others,” he said.
Charles, 76, would participate in the Royal Maundy Service at Durham Cathedral, a ceremony in which 76 men and 76 women receive symbolic gifts from coins specially cast in a secular custom that recognizes recipients for their Christian service.
“There are three virtues that the world still needs: faith, hope and love. And the greatest of them is love,” Charles said, referring to a passage from the New Testament.
