From The Eucharist Comes Strength To Live

The Dignity Of The Human Person Is A Transcendent Value, Always Recognized As Such By Those Who Sincerely Search For The Truth. Indeed, The Whole Of Human History Should Be Interpreted In The Light Of This Certainty. Every Person, Created In The Image And Likeness Of God (cf. Gn 1:26 28), Is Therefore Radically Oriented Towards The Creator, And Is Constantly In Relationship With Those Possessed Of The Same Dignity. To Promote The Good Of The Individual Is Thus To Serve The Common Good, Which Is That Point Where Rights And Duties Converge And Reinforce One Another.

No One Else Can Want For Me. No One Can Substitute His Act Of Will For Mine. It Does Sometimes Happen That Someone Very Much Wants Me To Want What He Wants. This Is The Moment When The Impassable Frontier Between Him And Me, Which Is Drawn By Free Will, Becomes Most Obvious. I May Not Want That Which He Wants Me To Want - And In This Precisely I Am Incommunicabilis. I Am, And I Must Be, Independent In My Actions. All Human Relationships Are Posited On This Fact.

Christ Remains Primary In Your Life Only When He Enjoys The First Place In Your Mind And Heart. Thus You Must Continuously Unite Yourself To Him In Prayer.... Without Prayer There Can Be No Joy, No Hope, No Peace. For Prayer Is What Keeps Us In Touch With Christ.

Love Is A Constant Challenge, Thrown To Us By God.

Let Us Not Accept Violence As The Way Of Peace. Let Us Instead Begin By Respecting True Freedom: The Resulting Peace Will Be Able To Satisfy The World's Expectations, For It Will Be A Peace Built On Justice, A Peace Founded On The Incomparable Dignity Of The Free Human Being.
