Today Is The World Day Of Prayer

I Feel So Low That Instead Of Picking Myself Up I Have To Cut Others Down.

If We, Each Doing Our Own Part, If We Do Good To Others, If We Meet There, Doing Good, And We Go Slowly, Gently, Little By Little, We Will Make That Culture Of Encounter: We Need That So Much. We Must Meet One Another Doing Good.

Do I Pray That The Lord Gives Me The Desire To Do His Will, Or Do I Look For Compromises Because I'm Afraid Of God's Will?

I Like This Idea Of The Re-foundation Of The European Union, Maybe It Can Be Done, Because Europe - I Do Not Say Is Unique, But It Has A Force, A Culture, A History That Cannot Be Wasted, And We Must Do Everything So That The European Union Has The Strength And Also The Inspiration To Make It Go Forward.

Going Out To Others In Order To Reach The Fringes Of Humanity Does Not Mean Rushing Out Aimlessly Into The World. Often It Is Better Simply To Slow Down, To Put Aside Our Eagerness In Order To See And Listen To Others, To Stop Rushing From One Thing To Another And To Remain With Someone Who Has Faltered Along The Way.
