To all people of good will who are working for social justice: never tire of working for a more just world, marked by greater solidarity!

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

Life is a journey. When we stop, things don't go right.

While all too many people live in dire poverty, others are caught up in materialism and lifestyles which are destructive of family life and the most basic demands of Christian morality.

Sometimes we are saddened by the weight of our sins. May we not be discouraged. Christ has come to lift this burden and give us peace.

But please know, Jesus never lets you down. Please know that the love and tenderness of Mother Mary never lets you down. And holding on to her mantle and with the power that comes from Jesus love on the cross, let us move forward, always forward, and walk together as brothers and sisters in the Lord forward.

May all people here find inspiration and strength to build a future of reconciliation, justice and peace for all the children of this beloved land.
