Each week we let Saint Pope John Paul II share meaningful signposts to spark socio-economic resolves through justice and righteousness combined with mercy and compassion; in short, love.

¹⁵But just as the one who called you is holy, be holy in all that you do; ¹⁶ for it is written: “Be holy because I am holy.”

__ ¹ Peter 1:15-16 (New International Version)

Talin International Airport, Estonia – 10 September 1993 | Doing good isn't always easy. Practicing it demands courage, nobility, and discipline. Nevertheless, it leads to a peaceful and secure society.

Therefore, embrace the good and consistently strive for improvement. You will discover this by making personal and collective choices that are free from selfishness.
