Indifference to our neighbor and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience.

In this Year of Faith, let us remember that faith is not something we possess, but something we share. Every Christian is an apostle.

Imagine, to become a priest there are eight years of study and preparation, and then if after a while you can't do it, you can ask for a dispensation, you leave, and everything is OK.

In this Year of Faith, we pray to the Lord that the Church may always be a true family that brings God’s love to everyone.

Holy Mother Church teaches us to end the year and also our days with an examination of conscience...to be grateful and to ask for forgiveness.
