Reflection:
”The Cross is the school of love” – St. Maxmillian Kolbe teaches that suffering, when united with Christ, transforms us, deepening our capacity for love and self-giving. “Do not seek a cross – the right one will find you. But when it comes, take it up bravely, without counting the cost “– St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio) encourages trust in God’s providence, accepting the trials He permits for our sanctification.
Care for the Earth:‘…The social meaning of our concern about climate change, goes beyond a merely ecological; approach because our care for one another and our care for the earth are intimately bound together…The effects of climate change are borne by the most vulnerable people…
Pope Francis …Laudato Deum #3
