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

Solidarity...is a structural value of the social doctrine, as Blessed John Paul II reminded us.

Dear young people, the Church expects great things of you and your generosity. Don’t be afraid to aim high.

From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.

Sometimes we are tempted to be that kind of Christian who keeps the Lord’s wounds at arm’s length. Yet Jesus wants us to touch human misery, to touch the suffering flesh of others. He hopes that we will stop looking for those personal or communal niches which shelter us from the maelstrom of human misfortune and instead enter into the reality of other people’s lives and know the power of tenderness. Whenever we do so, our lives become wonderfully complicated and we experience intensely what it is to be a people, to be part of a people.

Move forward and let others do the same. Simple. This is a guiding principle everyone should have.

When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
