Indulgence & Indifference

Just a few thoughts

• "If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present." -- Lao Tzu

• We pray that Pope Leo’s commitment to the poor will move the Church to make the needs of the poor a priority of service, especially throughout Lent in Australia with the help of Project Compassion.

• We pray for international leaders and all whose wealth and status gives them unchecked power over others. May they renounce the idol of tyranny and become agents of God’s new world.
