Peace is handcrafted. It is made every day. Also friendship among people, mutual knowledge, esteem, is handcrafted. It's made every day. Respect the other, say that which one thinks, but with respect, but walk together.

If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good.

May we always say thank you to God, especially for his patience and mercy.

Jesus intercedes for us each day. Let us pray: Lord, have mercy on me; intercede for me!

We learn many virtues in our Christian families. Above all, we learn to love, asking nothing in return.

We have begun a throw away culture. This tendency is seen on the level of individuals and whole societies; and it is being promoted! In circumstances like these, solidarity, which is the treasure of the poor, is often considered counterproductive, opposed to the logic of finance and the economy. While the income of a minority is increasing exponentially, that of the majority is crumbling.

Christians are those who let God clothe them with goodness and mercy, with Christ, so as to become, like Christ, servants of God and others.
