Work Ends Up Dehumanizing People.

Jesus Kept His Wounds So That We Would Experience His Mercy. This Is Our Strength And Our Hope.

Business Is A Noble Vocation, Directed To Producing Wealth And Improving The World. It Can Be A Fruitful Source Of Prosperity For The Area In Which It Operates, Especially If It Sees The Creation Of Jobs As An Essential Part Of Its Service To The Common Good. This Common Good Also Includes The Earth... The Environmental Challenge We Are Undergoing, And Its Human Roots, Concern And Affect Us All.

It Is Necessary To Reaffirm Our Solid Opposition To Any Direct Offense Against Life, Especially When Innocent And Defenseless, And The Unborn Child In Its Mother's Womb Is The Quintessence Of Innocence. Let Us Remember The Words Of Vatican Council Ii: 'therefore From The Moment Of Its Conception Life Must Be Guarded With The Greatest Care While Abortion And Infanticide Are Unspeakable Crimes.'

Today, Elderly People Are Discarded When, In Reality, They Are The Seat Of Wisdom Of The Society...the Right To Life Means Allowing People To Live And Not Killing, Allowing Them To Grow, To Eat, To Be Educated, To Be Healed, And To Be Permitted To Die With Dignity.

Everyone Is Called, Everyone Is Sent Out… The Call Of God Can Reach Us On The Assembly Line And In The Office, In The Supermarket And In The Stairwell, I.e., In The Places Of Everyday Life.
