Lord Jesus, Make Us Capable Of Loving

The Family Is The Greatest Treasure Of Any Country. Let Us All Work To Protect And Strengthen This, The Cornerstone Of Society.

We Have Begun A Throw Away Culture. This Tendency Is Seen On The Level Of Individuals And Whole Societies; And It Is Being Promoted! In Circumstances Like These, Solidarity, Which Is The Treasure Of The Poor, Is Often Considered Counterproductive, Opposed To The Logic Of Finance And The Economy. While The Income Of A Minority Is Increasing Exponentially, That Of The Majority Is Crumbling.

When We Do Not Adore God, We Adore Something Else. Money And Power Are False Idols Which Often Take The Place Of God.

When We Walk Without The Cross, When We Build Without The Cross And When We Proclaim Christ Without The Cross, We Are Not Disciples Of The Lord. We Are Worldly. We May Be Bishops, Priests, Cardinals, Popes, All Of This, But We Are Not Disciples Of The Lord.

We Need Courage If We Are To Be Faithful To The Gospel.
