Let Us Ask Mary To Help Us

As Long As The Problems Of The Poor Are Not Radically Resolved By Rejecting The Absolute Autonomy Of Markets And Financial Speculation And By Attacking The Structural Causes Of Inequality, No Solution Will Be Found For The World’s Problems Or, For That Matter, To Any Problems.

We Must Not Be Afraid Of Solidarity; Rather Let Us Make All We Have And Are Available To God.

The Gospel Calls Individual Christians To Live Lives Of Honesty, Integrity And Concern For The Common Good.. To Create Circles Of Integrity.., Networks Of Solidarity Which Can Expand To Embrace And Transform Society By Their Prophetic Witness.

Don't Be Afraid To Go Against The Current, When They Want To Steal Our Hope, When They Propose Rotten Values To Us, Values Like Food That Has Gone Bad-and When Food Has Gone Bad It Makes Us Sick, These Values Make Us Sick. We Have To Go Against The Current! And You, Young People, Be The First: Go Against The Grain And Be Proud Of Going Against The Grain. Go On, Be Brave And Go Against The Current! And Be Proud Of Doing It!

In A Very Real Way, The Poor Are Our Teachers. They Show Us That People’s Value Is Not Measured By Their Possessions Or How Much Money They Have In The Bank. A Poor Person, A Person Lacking Material Possessions, Always Maintains His Or Her Dignity. The Poor Can Teach Us Much About Humility And Trust In God.
