The family is a community of love where each of us learns to relate to others and to the world around us.

The world tells us to seek success, power and money; God tells us to seek humility, service and love.

Let us ask the Holy Spirit for the grace to live daily according to the mind of Jesus and his Gospel.

Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.

Lord, with so much violence in Iraq, may we persevere in our prayer and generosity.

I extend my appreciation to the associations, movements and all those who defend human life.

Prayer is all-powerful. Let us use it to bring peace to the Middle East and peace to the world.
