The following quote is straight copypasted from Tim's El Salvador Blog today, citing the El Salvador archbishop from many years ago.

You that have so much social sensitivity, you that cannot stand this unjust situation in our land: fine – God has given you that sensitivity, and if you have a call to political activism, God be blessed. Develop it.
But look: don’t waste that call; don’t waste that political and social sensitivity on earthly hatred, vengeance, and violence. Lift up your hearts. Look at the things above.

As Tim comments, it's as relevant today as it was back then. Not just for El Salvador, either. I'd only add that if you consider the country where you live a generally just place, Easter Sunday is a great day to reflect on your good fortune.
A happy and peaceful day to you all.
