Do Good: We Will Meet

Inconsistency On The Part Of Pastors And The Faithful Between What They Say And What They Do, Between Word And Manner Of Life, Is Undermining The Church's Credibility.

We Have Begun A Throw Away Culture. This Tendency Is Seen On The Level Of Individuals And Whole Societies; And It Is Being Promoted! In Circumstances Like These, Solidarity, Which Is The Treasure Of The Poor, Is Often Considered Counterproductive, Opposed To The Logic Of Finance And The Economy. While The Income Of A Minority Is Increasing Exponentially, That Of The Majority Is Crumbling.

Let Us Open The Doors To The Spirit, Let Ourselves Be Guided By Him, And Allow God's Constant Help To Make Us New Men And Women, Inspired By The Love Of God Which The Holy Spirit Bestows On Us! How Beautiful It Would Be If Each Of You, Every Evening, Could Say: Today At School, At Home, At Work, Guided By God, I Showed A Sign Of Love Towards One Of My Friends, My Parents, An Older Person! How Beautiful!

While The Earnings Of A Minority Are Growing Exponentially, So Too Is The Gap Separating The Majority From The Prosperity Enjoyed By Those Happy Few. This Imbalance Is The Result Of Ideologies Which Defend The Absolute Autonomy Of The Marketplace And Financial Speculation. Consequently, They Reject The Right Of States, Charged With Vigilance For The Common Good, To Exercise Any Form Of Control.

We Have To State, Without Mincing Words, That There Is An Inseparable Bond Between Our Faith And The Poor. May We Never Abandon Them.
