What’s it all about? Wealth or Filthy Lucre?

Just a few thoughts

·         It seems that USA Catholics are just as divided as all others in USA. How come??
It seems that USA is so focussed on individualism that the common good is a blurred vision. There are 50 states and they all have different laws and they all compete against each other. No wonder that they can’t manage to work together to deal with the C-Virus.

·         During a visit to Sweden Pope Francis proposed six new beatitudes for the modern era:

"Blessed are those who remain faithful while enduring evils inflicted on them by others, and forgive them from their heart;

"Blessed are those who look into the eyes of the abandoned and marginalized, and show them their closeness;

"Blessed are those who see God in every person, and strive to make others also discover him;

"Blessed are those who protect and care for our common home;

"Blessed are those who renounce their own comfort in order to help others;

"Blessed are those who pray and work for full communion between Christians."

Isn’t that what the world needs now?
