Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a 'disposable' culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new.

We cannot be part-time Christians! We should seek to live our faith at every moment of every day.

There is the tendency to place ourselves and our ambitions at the center of our lives. This is very human, but it is not Christian.

First, we can pray in communion with the Church on earth and in heaven. Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer!

Let no one consider themselves to be the 'armour' of God while planning and carrying out acts of violence and oppression!

We must not let ourselves fall into the vortex of pessimism. Faith can move mountains!

Dear young people, pray with me for peace in the world.
