Mercy is the true power that can save humanity and the world from sin and evil.

Our mission as Christians is to conform ourselves evermore to Jesus as the model of our lives.

Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.

Because if we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us! Never forget this!

The Church is or should go back to being a community of God's people, and priests, pastors and bishops, who have the care of souls, are at the service of the people of God.
