I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.

God's love is unbounded. It has no limits.

A Christian is one who is invited... to join in the feast, to the joy of being saved, to the joy of being redeemed, to the joy of sharing life with Christ. This is a joy! You are called to a party!

We must not be afraid of solidarity; rather let us make all we have and are available to God.

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

There is no cross, big or small, in our life which the Lord does not share with us.

Sometimes we are tempted to be that kind of Christian who keeps the Lord’s wounds at arm’s length. Yet Jesus wants us to touch human misery, to touch the suffering flesh of others. He hopes that we will stop looking for those personal or communal niches which shelter us from the maelstrom of human misfortune and instead enter into the reality of other people’s lives and know the power of tenderness. Whenever we do so, our lives become wonderfully complicated and we experience intensely what it is to be a people, to be part of a people.
