Do not be afraid to go forth and announce the Risen Christ.

A simple lifestyle is good for us, helping us to better share with those in need.

Right now, we don't have a very good relation with creation.

Holy Week challenges us to step outside ourselves so as to attend to the needs of others: those who long for a sympathetic ear, those in need of comfort or help. We should not simply remain in our own secure world, that of the ninety-nine sheep who never strayed from the fold, but we should go out, with Christ, in search of the one lost sheep, however far it may have wandered.

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

We must recover the whole sense of gift, of gratuitousness, of solidarity. Rampant capitalism has taught the logic of profit at all costs, of giving to get, of exploitation without looking at the person... and we see the results in the crisis we are experiencing! This Home is a place that teaches charity, a "school" of charity, which instructs me to go encounter every person, not for profit, but for love.

We cannot trust in our own strength, but only in Jesus and in his mercy.
