I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” (Ps 122:1)
Yours is the gigantic task of overcoming all evil with good, always trying amidst the problems of life to place your trust in God, knowing that his grace supplies strength to human weakness.
You must oppose every form of hatred with the invincible power of Christ’s love.”
-Pope St. John Paul II
