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.
“You are the light of the world. . . Your light must shine before all.”
St. Lous, MO – 26 January 1999 | Do not listen to those who encourage you to lie, shirk responsibility, and put yourselves first.
In your hearts, you know that true love is a gift from God.
Do not be taken in by false values and deceptive slogans, especially about your freedom.
True freedom is a beautiful gift from God and has been a cherished part of your country’s history.
However, when freedom is separated from truth, individuals lose their moral direction, and the very fabric of society begins to unravel.
Freedom is not the ability to do anything we want, whenever we want. Instead, freedom is the ability to live responsibly under the truth of our relationship with God and one another.
“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8: 32).
Let no one mislead you or prevent you from seeing what matters.
You are children of the light (John 12:36)!
You belong to Christ, who has called you by name.
