As Your Captain, I'm Going

Sometimes We Are Tempted To Find Excuses And Complain, Acting As If We Could Only Be Happy If A Thousand Conditions Were Met...i Can Say That The Most Beautiful And Natural Expressions Of Joy Which I Have Seen In My Life Were In Poor People Who Had Little To Hold On To.

The Pace Of Consumption, Waste And Environmental Change Has So Stretched The Planet's Capacity That Our Contemporary Lifestyle, Unsustainable As It Is, Can Only Precipitate Catastrophes, Such As Those Which Even Now Periodically Occur In Different Areas Of The World ... We Need To Reflect On Our Accountability Before Those Who Will Have To Endure The Dire Consequences.

May We Learn To Say “thank You” To God And To One Another. We Teach Children To Do It, And Then We Forget To Do It Ourselves!

Faith Transforms The Whole Person Precisely To The Extent That He Or She Becomes Open To Love.

The Church Is Called To Draw Near To Every Person, Beginning With The Poorest And Those Who Suffer.
