And there is this fact of the twelve baskets: why twelve? What does it mean? Twelve is the number of the tribes of Israel, symbolically it represents all the people. And this tells us that when food is shared equally, with solidarity, nobody is devoid of the necessary, each community can meet the needs of the poorest. Human ecology and environmental ecology go hand in hand.

Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices.

The love of Christ fills our hearts and makes us always able to forgive!

It's important if you can do good with power. And Jesus defined power, true power is to serve, to do service, to do the most humble services, and I must still make progress on this path of service because I feel that I don't do everything I should do. That's the sense I have of power.

Rest is so necessary for the health of our minds and bodies, and often so difficult to achieve due to the many demands placed on us. But rest is also essential for our spiritual health, so that we can hear God’s voice and understand what he asks of us.

Do not be afraid to cast yourselves into the arms of God; whatever he asks of you, he will repay a hundredfold.

Today is the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. Let us work and pray.
