Holy Mary, Mother of God, you have given the world its true light, Jesus, your Son – the Son of God.  You abandoned yourself completely to God's call and thus became a wellspring of the goodness which flows forth from him. Show us Jesus. Lead us to him. Teach us to know and love him, so that we too can become capable of true love and be fountains of living water in the midst of a thirsting world.  

 Amen

“Christian charitable activity must be independent of parties and ideologies. It is not a means of changing the world ideologically, and it is not at the service of worldly stratagems, but it is a way of making present here and now the Love which man always needs.”

[ Deus Caritas EST Part 2:31b ]

 

 

 

 

“A just society must be the achievement of politics, not of the Church.

The Church cannot and must not take upon herself the political battle to bring about the most just society possible.”

 

“Yet the promotion of justice through efforts

to bring about openness of mind and will

to the demands of the common good

is something which concerns the Church deeply.”

 

“She has to play her part through rational argument and she has to reawaken the spiritual energy without which justice, which always demands sacrifice, cannot prevail and prosper.”

[ Deus Caritas EST Part 2.28: 5 ]

Love of Neighbor will no longer be

a commandment imposed, so to speak,

but faith which becomes active through love.

[ Deus Caritas EST  31a. cf. Gal 5:6 ]
