Our Christian Witness Is Authentic When It

Can We Who Have Had The Joy Of Knowing That We Are Not Orphans, That We Have A Father, Be Indifferent To This City Which Asks Of Us, Perhaps Even Unwittingly, Without Being Aware Of It, A Hope That Will Help It Look To The Future With Greater Confidence And Serenity? We Cannot Remain Indifferent. . . . Words Without Witness Are Hot Air. Words Do Not Suffice. It Must Be The True Witness That Paul Speaks Of.

Human Life, The Person Is No Longer Perceived As A Primary Value To Be Respected And Protected, Especially If Poor Or Disabled, If Not Yet Useful - Such As The Unborn Child - Or No Longer Needed - Such As The Elderly.

This May Sound Like Heresy, But It Is The Greatest Truth! It Is More Difficult To Let God Love Us, Than To Love Him! The Best Way To Love Him In Return Is To Open Our Hearts And Let Him Love Us. Let Him Draw Close To Us And Feel Him Close To Us. This Is Really Very Difficult: Letting Ourselves Be Loved By Him. And That Is Perhaps What We Need To Ask Today In The Mass: 'lord, I Want To Love You, But Teach Me The Difficult Science, The Difficult Habit Of Letting Myself Be Loved By You, To Feel You Close And Feel Your Tenderness ! May The Lord Give Us This Grace.

Why Is It Taken For Granted That Women Should Earn Less Than Men? No! They Have The Same Rights.

For Us Christians, Love Of Neighbour Springs From Love Of God; And It Is Its Most Limpid Expression. Here One Tries To Love One's Neighbour, But Also To Allow Oneself To Be Loved By One's Neighbour. These Two Attitudes Go Together, One Cannot Be Exercised Without The Other. Printed On The Letterhead Of The Missionaries Of Charity Are These Words Of Jesus: "as You Did It To One Of The Least Of These My Brethren, You Did It To Me". Loving God In Our Brethren And Loving Our Brethren In God.
