Humanity needs justice, peace and love and we can have this only by returning with our hearts towards God who is the source of all this.

Let us leave a spare place at our table: a place for those who lack the basics, who are alone.

We proclaim the resurrection of Christ when his light illuminates the dark moments of our existence, and we are able share it with others

We human beings are not only the beneficiaries but also the stewards of other creatures. Thanks to our bodies, God has joined us so closely to the world around us that we can feel the desertification of the soil almost as a physical ailment, and the extinction of a species as a painful disfigurement. Let us not leave in our wake a swatch of destruction and death which will affect our own lives and those of future generations.

Do I take the Gospel message of reconciliation and love into the places where I live and work?

May we always care for our children, not counting the cost, so that they may never believe themselves to be mistakes, but always know their infinite worth.

Let us be renewed by God's mercy ... and let us become agents of this mercy, channels through which God can water the earth, protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish.
