Let Us Encourage The Generosity Which Is

In Your School You Take Part In Various Activities That Habituate You Not To Shut Yourselves In On Yourselves Or In Your Small World, But To Be Open To Others, Especially To The Poorest And Neediest, To Work To Improve The World In Which We Live. Be Men And Women With Others And For Others, Real Champions In The Service Of Others. To Be Magnanimous With Interior Liberty And A Spirit Of Service, Spiritual Formation Is Necessary. Dear Children, Dear Youths, Love Jesus Christ Ever More!

How I Wish That All Men And Women Of Good Will Would Look To The Cross If Only For A Moment! There, We Can See God’s Reply: Violence Is Not Answered With Violence, Death Is Not Answered With The Language Of Death. In The Silence Of The Cross, The Uproar Of Weapons Ceases And The Language Of Reconciliation, Forgiveness, Dialogue, And Peace Is Spoken.

Children Have A Right To Grow Up In A Family With A Father And A Mother.

If The Seminary Is Too Large, It Ought To Be Divided Into Smaller Communities With Formators Who Are Equipped Really To Accompany Those In Their Charge. Dialogue Must Be Serious, Without Fear, Sincere. It Is Important To Recall That The Language Of Young People In Formation Today Is Different From That In The Past: We Are Living Through An Epochal Change. Formation Is A Work Of Art, Not A Police Action. We Must Form Their Hearts. Otherwise We Are Creating Little Monsters. And Then These Little Monsters Mold The People Of God. This Really Gives Me Goose Bumps.

I Join The March For Life In Washington With My Prayers. May God Help Us Respect All Life, Especially The Most Vulnerable.
