Each week we let Saint Pope John Paul II share meaningful signposts to spark socio-economic resolves through justice and righteousness combined with mercy and compassion; in short, love.

               … the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people 

               __ Luke 2:8-11 (New International Version) 

 

Munich, Germany – 19 November 1980 | A proverb states, “If you are lonely, visit someone who is even lonelier than you.” I wish to share this wisdom with you. 

               Think about those traveling companions who might be struggling more than you. 

               You can support them through a conversation, a handshake, a message, or just by showing compassion. 

               In Jesus’ name, you will find strength and comfort in this. 

In this way, you practice on a small scale what we all do on a large scale.
