Let Us Ask Mary To Help Us

To All People Of Good Will Who Are Working For Social Justice: Never Tire Of Working For A More Just World, Marked By Greater Solidarity!

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.

We Have To Find A New Balance; Otherwise Even The Moral Edifice Of The Church Is Likely To Fall Like A House Of Cards, Losing The Freshness And Fragrance Of The Gospel.

A Christian Who Withdraws Into Himself, Hiding All That The Lord Has Given Him, Is Not A Christian! I Would Ask The Many Young People Present To Be Generous With Their God-given Talents For The Good Of Others, The Church And Our World.

...we Must Also Acknowledge That The Majority Of The Men And Women Of Our Time Continue To Live Daily In Situations Of Insecurity, With Dire Consequences. Certain Pathologies Are Increasing, With Their Psychological Consequences; Fear And Desperation Grip The Hearts Of Many People, Even In The So-called Rich Countries; The Joy Of Life Is Diminishing; Indecency And Violence Are On The Rise; Poverty Is Becoming More And More Evident. People Have To Struggle To Live And, Frequently, To Live In An Undignified Way.
