Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.

Like the Good Samaritan, may we not be ashamed of touching the wounds of those who suffer, but try to heal them with concrete acts of love.

We have begun a throw away culture. This tendency is seen on the level of individuals and whole societies; and it is being promoted!

We need to reflect with great seriousness about why many young people don't feel like getting married... For fear of failure, many do not want to even think about it...

Lord, with so much violence in Iraq, may we persevere in our prayer and generosity.
