Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.

Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest, where the powerful feed upon the powerless. As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape.

May we always say thank you to God, especially for his patience and mercy.

Holy Week is a good occasion to go to confession and to take up the right path again.

Do not be afraid! Our Father is patient, he loves us, he gives us Jesus to guide us on the way which leads to the promised land. Jesus is the light who brightens the darkness. He is our peace.

Your sins are great? Just tell the Lord: Forgive me, help me to get up again, change my heart!

Take care of God’s creation. But above all, take care of people in need.
