We are the sum of the Father's love for us
Pope John Paul II
Image
[St. Francis] looked upon creation with the eyes of one who could recognize in it the marvelous work of the hand of God.

We too are called to a similar attitude.

The obligation to earn one's bread by the sweat of one's brow also presumes the right to do so. A society in which this right is systematically denied, in which economic policies do not allow workers to reach satisfactory levels of employment, cannot be justified from an ethical point of view, nor can that society attain social peace.
