When we talk about the environment, about creation, my thoughts turn to the first pages of the Bible, the Book of Genesis, which states that God placed man and woman on earth to cultivate and care for it. And the question comes to my mind: What does cultivating and caring for the earth mean? Are we truly cultivating and caring for creation? Or are we exploiting and neglecting it?
Pope FrancisAll walls fall. Today, tomorrow or in 100 years, they will fall. It's not a solution. The wall isn't a solution. In this moment, Europe is in difficult, it's true. We have to be intelligent, and whoever comes...that migrant flow. It's not easy to find solutions, but with dialogue between nations they should be found. Walls are never solutions. But bridges are, always, always.
Pope FrancisThe poor is the center of the Gospel. If we take out the poor, we cannot understand the message of Christ
Pope FrancisThe security of faith does not make us motionless or close us off, but sends us forth to bear witness and to dialogue with all people.
Pope FrancisIn Godโs great plan, every detail is important, even yours, even my humble little witness, even the hidden witness of those who live their faith with simplicity in everyday family relationships, work relationships, friendships. There are the saints of every day, the โhiddenโ saints, a sort of โmiddle class of holinessโ to which we can all belong.
