Inspirations
Let us care for one another and let us be loving custodians of creation. (2nd Tweet @pontifex)
Kindness is firm and persevering intention to always will the good of others, even the unfriendly.
We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.
We will never be disillusioned or lose our way if we are guided by God.
We all have the duty to do good.
Prayers
Jesus, make my heart more like yours.
The 7-word prayer of Pope Francis' grandmother, he taught it to the world in St. Peter's Square on Sunday, June 7th, 2020.
