No one wants to see a hero have to pick up his cane to hit someone, but I'm still quite fit enough to fake it.

Pope Francis

At this time of crisis we cannot be concerned solely with ourselves, withdrawing into loneliness, discouragement and a sense of powerlessness in the face of problems. Please do not withdraw into yourselves! This is a danger: we shut ourselves up in the parish, with our friends, within the movement, with the like-minded. . . but do you know what happens?
