Peace Is Handcrafted. It Is Made Every

We Are All Sinners. But God Heals Us With An Abundance Of Grace, Mercy And Tenderness

Every Child Who, Rather Than Being Born, Is Condemned Unjustly To Being Aborted, Bears The Face Of Jesus Christ, Bears The Face Of The Lord, Who Even Before He Was Born, And Then Just After Birth, Experienced The World’s Rejection. And Every Elderly Person…even If He Is Ill Or At The End Of His Days, Bears The Face Of Christ. They Cannot Be Discarded, As The ‘culture Of Waste’ Suggests!

It Is Better To Have A Church That Is Wounded But Out In The Streets Than A Church That Is Sick Because It Is Closed In On Itself.

Perhaps I Can Say That I Am A Bit Astute, That I Can Adapt To Circumstances, But It Is Also True That I Am A Bit Naive. Yes, But The Best Summary, The One That Comes More From The Inside And I Feel Most True Is This: I Am A Sinner Whom The Lord Has Looked Upon.

"do You Love Me?"; "are You My Friend?". The One Who Scrutinizes Hearts (cf. Rom 8:27), Makes Himself A Beggar Of Love And Questions Us On The One Truly Essential Issue, A Premiss And Condition For Feeding His Sheep, His Lambs, His Church. May Every Ministry Be Based On This Intimacy With The Lord; Living From Him Is The Measure Of Our Ecclesial Service Which Is Expressed In The Readiness To Obey, To Humble Ourselves, As We Heard In The Letter To The Philippians, And For The Total Gift Of Self.
