When We Do Not Profess Jesus Christ,

Holy Mother Church Teaches Us To End The Year And Also Our Days With An Examination Of Conscience...to Be Grateful And To Ask For Forgiveness.

Christmas Celebrations Are Often Full Of Sound. It Would Be Good For Us To Make Room For Silence, To Hear The Voice Of Love.

For Her Part, The Church Always Works For The Integral Development Of Every Person. In This Sense, She Reiterates That The Common Good Should Not Be Simply An Extra, Simply A Conceptual Scheme Of Inferior Quality Tacked Onto Political Programmes. The Church Encourages Those In Power To Be Truly At The Service Of The Common Good Of Their Peoples.

Faith Transforms The Whole Person Precisely To The Extent That He Or She Becomes Open To Love.

Our Faith In Christ, Who Became Poor, And Was Always Close To The Poor And The Outcast, Is The Basis Of Our Concern For The Integral Development Of Society’s Most Neglected Members.
