“Let us help one another to be leaven in the dough of this world. Together we can and must continue to care for human life, the protection of creation, the dignity of work, the problems of families, the treatment of the elderly and all those who are abandoned, rejected or treated with contempt.
In a word, we are called to be a Church that promotes the culture of care, tenderness and compassion towards the vulnerable. A Church that fights all forms of corruption and decay, including those of our cities and the places we frequent, so that in the life of every people the joy of the Gospel may shine forth. This is our “fight”, and this is our challenge.
The temptation to stand still is great; the temptation of that nostalgia which makes us look to other times as better. May we not fall into the temptation of “looking back” which is becoming fashionable today in the Church.”
Pope Francis – Homily ~ June 29, 2022
