Dear Young People, Let Us Not Be

There Can Be No Renewal Of Our Relationship With Nature Without A Renewal Of Humanity Itself.

I Would Like That All Of Us, After These Days Of Grace, Might Have The Courage - The Courage - To Walk In The Presence Of The Lord, With The Cross Of The Lord: To Build The Church On The Blood Of The Lord, Which Is Shed On The Cross, And To Profess The One Glory, Christ Crucified. In This Way, The Church Will Go Forward.

Work Is Fundamental To The Dignity Of A Person. . . . It Gives One The Ability To Maintain Oneself, One's Family, To Contribute To The Growth Of One's Own Nation.

It Is No Easy Task To Overcome The Bitter Legacy Of Injustices, Hostility And Mistrust Left By The Conflict. It Can Only Be Done By Overcoming Evil With Good.

I Want To Remind Priests That The Confessional Must Not Be A Torture Chamber But Rather An Encounter With The Lord’s Mercy Which Spurs Us On To Do Our Best. A Small Step, In The Midst Of Great Human Limitations, Can Be More Pleasing To God Than A Life Which Appears Outwardly In Order But Moves Through The Day Without Confronting Great Difficulties. Everyone Needs To Be Touched By The Comfort And Attraction Of God’s Saving Love, Which Is Mysteriously At Work In Each Person, Above And Beyond Their Faults And Failings.
