Dear Young People, Do Not Give Up

Not To Share One’s Goods With The Poor Is To Rob Them And To Deprive Them Of Life. It Is Not Our Goods That We Possess, But Theirs.

The Time Has Come For The Church To Take Up The Joyful Call To Mercy Once More. It Is Time To Return To The Basics And To Bear The Weaknesses And Struggles Of Our Brothers And Sisters. Mercy Is The Force That Reawakens Us To New Life And Instils In Us The Courage To Look To The Future With Hope.

It Is Better To Have A Church That Is Wounded But Out In The Streets Than A Church That Is Sick Because It Is Closed In On Itself.

Today, The News Is Scandals, That Is News, But The Many Children Who Don’t Have Food - That’s Not News. This Is Grave. We Can’t Rest Easy While Things Are This Way.

This Concern For The Poor Is In The Gospel, It Is Within The Tradition Of The Church, It Is Not An Invention Of Communism And It Must Not Be Turned Into An Ideology, As Has Sometimes Happened Before In The Course Of History.
