To Live As True Children

When Money, Instead Of Man, Is At The Center Of The System, When Money Becomes An Idol, Men And Women Are Reduced To Simple Instruments Of A Social And Economic System, Which Is Characterized, Better Yet Dominated, By Profound Inequalities. So We Discard Whatever Is Not Useful To This Logic; It Is This Attitude That Discards Children And Older People, And Is Now Affecting The Young.

The Root Of This Possibility Of Doing Good - That We All Have - Is In Creation.

Lent Is A Fitting Time For Self-denial; We Would Do Well To Ask Ourselves What We Can Give Up In Order To Help And Enrich Others By Our Own Poverty. Let Us Not Forget That Real Poverty Hurts: No Self-denial Is Real Without This Dimension Of Penance. I Distrust A Charity That Costs Nothing And Does Not Hurt.

If Globalization Is A Sphere, Where Each Point Is Equidistant From The Centre, Then It Isn't Good Because It Annuls Each Of Us. But If Globalization Joins Us As A Polyhedron Where We're All Together But Conserves The Dignity Of Each ... That's Good.

The Sacraments Are Jesus Christ’s Presence In Us. So It Is Important For Us To Go To Confession And Receive Holy Communion.
