“All Christians, their pastors included, are called to
show concern for the building of a better world. This is essential, for the
Church’s social thought is primarily positive: it offers proposals, it works
for change and in this sense it constantly points to the hope born of the
loving heart of Jesus Christ.”Pope Francis, Evangelii
Gaudium. How might you “show concern for the
building of a better world” during this season of Lent? God Bless
