We Cannot Give Up In The Face

Many People Who Are Forced Into Emigration Suffer And Often Die Tragically; Many Of Their Rights Are Violated, They Are Obliged To Separate From Their Families And, Unfortunately, Continue To Be Subjected To Racist Attitudes And Xenophobia.

Religious Freedom Certainly Means The Right To Worship God, Individually And In Community, As Our Consciences Dictate. But Religious Liberty, By Its Nature, Transcends Places Of Worship And The Private Sphere Of Individuals And Families.

It's Not A Problem That We're Sinners; It's A Problem That We Aren't Ashamed Of Our Sin And Don't Seek Forgiveness.

Indifference To Our Neighbour And To God Also Represents A Real Temptation For Us Christians. Each Year During Lent We Need To Hear Once More The Voice Of The Prophets Who Cry Out And Trouble Our Conscience.

Given - And This Is The Fundamental Thing - That God's Mercy Has No Limits, If He Is Approached With A Sincere And Repentant Heart, The Question For Those Who Do Not Believe In God Is To Abide By Their Own Conscience. There Is Sin, Also For Those Who Have No Faith, In Going Against One's Conscience. Listening To It And Abiding By It Means Making Up One's Mind About What Is Good And Evil.
