We were not born to kill but to foster the growth of all peoples. Please ask for peace in your daily prayers. Let us #PrayTogether for #Peace and do penance on behalf of peace.
With God at our side, we can overcome despair and live each moment as an opportune time to start again. In our worst moments, let us not close in on ourselves. May we talk to God about our pain and help each other to bear it.
Choose to thank God for what He is doing in your life and for the victory that is on the way. Be strong, be bold, and take courage today because God has overcome the world!
Let’s learn from the Lord who saved us by emptying himself, becoming other: from being God, man; from spirit, flesh. He also invites us to “become other”, to reach out to others. The other will become the means of our salvation, beginning with the poor, who are most like Christ.
"As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (Jn 13:34). This is the legacy Christ bequeathed to us, the fundamental criterion for discerning whether or not we are truly his disciples: the commandment of love.
Faith deserves respect and honour: it has changed our lives, it has purified our minds, it has taught us the worship of God and the love of our neighbour. It is a blessing for all!
Let us not forget that #peace is possible when weapons are silenced and dialogue begins! And let us continue to pray for the suffering people of Ukraine and for peace in every land bloodied by war.
Too often, we fail to recognize and appreciate the gifts and talents that God has given us. But when Jesus ascended to heaven, "He gave gifts to men" (Ephesians 4:8). We don't all have the same gifts, but we all have gifts to be used for God's purpose throughout our lives.
Jesus speaks in silence in the Mystery of the Eucharist. He reminds us every time that following him means going out of ourselves and not making our life a possession of our own, but rather a gift to him and to others.
Underlying all our strengths and weaknesses, stronger than all our past hurts and failures, or our fears and concerns about the future, there is this great truth: we are beloved sons and daughters.
