Consumerism has accustomed us to waste. But throwing food away is like stealing it from the poor and hungry.

Let us pray to the Lord and ask him to protect the family in the crisis with which the devil wants to destroy it. Families are the domestic church where Jesus grows in the love of a married couple, in the lives of their children.

How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.

We also must learn to listen more to our conscience. Be careful, however: this does not mean we ought to follow our ego, do whatever interests us, whatever suits us, whatever pleases us. That is not conscience.

The great challenge facing us today is to learn once again how to talk to one another, not simply how to generate and consume information.

It is a mortal sin to discard the elderly.

Agape, the love of each one of us for the other, from the closest to the furthest, is in fact the only way that Jesus has given us to find the way of salvation and of the Beatitudes.
