Human trafficking is a crime against humanity. We must unite our efforts to free the victims and stop this increasingly aggressive crime which threatens not only individuals but the basic values of society.

We who are Christians, members of God’s family, are called to go out to the needy and to serve them.

Some people believe that - pardon my language - in order to be good Catholics, we should be like rabbits. No.

Unfortunately, what is thrown away is not only food and dispensable objects, but often human beings themselves, who are discarded as 'unnecessary.' For example, it is frightful even to think there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day; children being used as soldiers, abused and killed in armed conflicts; and children being bought and sold in that terrible form of modern slavery which is human trafficking, which is a crime against humanity.

We all have the duty to do good.

The Eucharist is essential for us: it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.

Christmas celebrations are often full of sound. It would be good for us to make room for silence, to hear the voice of Love.
