Politics is instead an expression of our compelling need to live as one in order to build as one the greatest common good, that of community which sacrifices particular interest in order to share injustice and peace, its goods, its interests, its social ife. I do not underestimate the difficulty that this involves. But i encourage you in this ffort.

Here i think of a person whom i ve, someone who is and has been very important throughout my life. An s been a support and inspiration. He is the one i go to whenever m in a bind. You make me think of st. Joseph. Your faces remind me of his. Joseph had to face some difficult situations in his ife. One of them was the time when mary was about to give birth to ave jesus. The bible tells us that while they were in bethlehem, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a manger because there was inn. Ce for them in the the bible is very clear about this.
