REFLECTION: “God has compassion on us. In the gestures and deeds of the Good Samaritan we recognise the merciful acts of God in all of salvation history. It is the same compassion with which the Lord comes to meet each one of us. He does not ignore us, he knows our pain and how much we need his help and comfort. He comes close and never abandons us. Each of us should ask and answer this question in our heart: Do I believe? Do I believe that the Lord has compassion on me, just as I am, a sinner, with many problems and many issues? Think about that and the answer is: YES!” Pope Francis
Laudato Deum: ‘…What happens in one part of the world has repercussions on the entire planet …. I repeat over and over again: ‘Everything is connected, and no one is saved alone…’ Pope Francis…. Laudato Deum#19
