+Alan: "...there are increasing threats to the sanctity and dignity of human life from its beginning to its natural end. Let us pray that during this Holy Year we will learn to look with the eyes of Jesus, Mary and Joseph on our world and on one another." https://t.co/dms8kInGRx
May we learn, like Mary, to discover God’s greatness in the little things of life. May we learn to care for the precious gift of life: life in the womb, the lives of children, the lives of the suffering, the poor, the elderly, the lonely, and the dying.
Let us entrust to Mary this new Jubilee Year. Let us entrust to her our worries, our sufferings, our joys, and all the concerns that we bear in our hearts. Let us entrust to her the whole world, so that hope may be reborn and peace may spring up for all the peoples of the earth.
I express my grateful appreciation to all those in the many areas of conflict who work for dialogue and negotiations. Let us pray that the fighting will cease on every front, and that there will be a decisive effort for peace and reconciliation.
‘Live your whole life according to the Christ you have received - Jesus the Lord. You must be rooted in him, built on him, and held firm by the faith you have been taught.’ (Colossians 2)

A beautiful message from Pope Francis: “Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other.
