Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn't mean we have to wash each other's feet every day, but we must help one another.

The cross is the price of true love. Lord, give us the strength to accept and carry our crosses!

We too need to protect, guide, and encourage our young people, helping them to build a society worthy of their great spiritual and cultural heritage. Specifically, we need to see each child as a gift to be welcomed, cherished, and protected. And we need to care for our young people, not allowing them to be robbed of hope and condemned to life on the streets.
