Because If We Destroy Creation, Creation Will Destroy Us! Never Forget This!

We Have, In A Sense, Lorded It Over Nature, Over Sister Earth, Over Mother Earth, I Think Man Has Gone Too Far.

We Face So Many Challenges In Life: Poverty, Distress, Humiliation, The Struggle For Justice, Persecutions, The Difficulty Of Daily Conversion, The Effort To Remain Faithful To Our Call To Holiness, And Many Others. But If We Open The Door To Jesus And Allow Him To Be Part Of Our Lives, If We Share Our Joys And Sorrows With Him, Then We Will Experience The Peace And Joy That Only God, Who Is Infinite Love, Can Give.
