The root of this possibility of doing good - that we all have - is in creation.

To be friends with God means to pray with simplicity, like children talking to their parents.

The real power is love, that which empowers others, that which arouses action, that which no chain is able to hold back, for even on the Cross or on the death bed one is able to love. One does not need youthful beauty, nor recognition or approval, nor money or prestige. Let love simply bloom...and it is unstoppable.

To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love is to open up a horizon of hope.

I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them.

We all have the duty to do good.

Today, this selfish attitude of indifference has taken on global proportions, to the extent that we can speak of a globalization of indifference. It is a problem which we, as Christians, need to confront.
