Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a “disposable” culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer society’s underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised – they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the “exploited” but the outcast, the “leftovers”.
Pope FrancisThe mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!
Pope FrancisThe Holy Spirit helps us to view others with fresh eyes, seeing them always as brothers and sisters in Jesus, to be respected and loved.
Pope FrancisOur prayer cannot be reduced to an hour on Sundays. It is important to have a daily relationship with the Lord.
