Jesus washes the feet of the Apostles. Are we ready to serve others like this.

The Book of Genesis tells us that God created man and woman entrusting them with the task of filling the earth and subduing it, which does not mean exploiting it but nurturing and protecting it, caring for it through their work.

A credible witness to truth and to the values of the Gospel is urgently needed.
