Created half to rise, and half to fall Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!

Be protectors of God’s gifts!

The great danger in today's world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.
