From 1998 to 2023, Archbishop, Metropolitan and Cardinal of Zagreb Josip Bozanić delivered his Easter messages to the faithful each year on the occasion of the greatest Christian feast: Easter. After a brief exposition of each message in the first paragraph, in the second paragraph, the article systematically presents the vision of the Church outlined by Cardinal Bozanić. There are four main ecclesiological themes within which the Cardinal speaks theologically about the Church and presents his vision of the Church: 1. the origin and mystery of the Church; 2. the holiness of the Church and the sinfulness of its members; 3. the preaching activity of the Church and 4. the social activity of the Church. The Church is sent to transform this world with the power of grace and mercy from the risen Christ himself. Despite all the difficulties the Church is facing, and especially despite the sinfulness of its members, Cardinal Bozanić has a positive and optimistic view of the Church.Zagrebški nadškof, metropolit in kardinal Josip Bozanić je od leta 1998 do 2023 vsako leto ob največjem krščanskem prazniku – veliki noči – vernikom izročil velikonočna sporočila (poslanice). Po kratki razlagi vsakega sporočila v prvem delu članek v drugem delu sistematično predstavi vizijo Cerkve, ki jo je začrtal kardinal Bozanić. Gre za štiri glavne ekleziološke teme, znotraj katerih kardinal teološko govori o Cerkvi in predstavlja svojo vizijo Cerkve: 1. izvor in skrivnost Cerkve; 2. svetost Cerkve in grešnost njenih članov; 3. pridigarska dejavnost Cerkve in 4. družbena dejavnost Cerkve. Cerkev je poslana, da preoblikuje ta svet z močjo milosti in usmiljenja vstalega Kristusa. Kljub vsem težavam, s katerimi se Cerkev sooča, in še posebej kljub grešnosti njenih članov ima kardinal Bozanić pozitiven in optimističen pogled na Cerkev.
