The popes have spoken of human ecology, closely linked to environmental ecology. We are living in a time of crisis: we see this in the environment, but above all we see this in mankind Man is not in charge today, money is in charge, money rules. God our Father did not give the task of caring for the earth to money, but to us, to men and women: we have this task! Instead, men and women are sacrificed to the idols of profit and consumption: it is the 'culture of waste.'

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

The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!

These two criteria are like the pillars of true love: deeds, and the gift of self.

The teachings of the Gospel have direct consequences for our way of thinking, feeling and living.

May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.

May the Lord bless the family and strengthen it in this moment of crisis
