Humility
Bishop Zurek, When we in the Diocese of Amarillo come to the Respect Life Banquet table, how can we do so with humility, not superiority?
Few
Superficially, apart from a few obvious signs of pollution and deterioration, things don’t look that serious; so couldn’t our common home continue as it is for some time?
Fire
Praised be you, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom you light the night,
and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong”.
Seeds
A dependency on GMO crops is non-C/catholic when the production of infertile seeds is considered; the effect forces farmers to purchase them from a small number of larger producers.
Irresponsible
Pope Benedict asked us to recognize that the natural environment has been gravely damaged by our irresponsible behaviour.
Reality
We can hardly consider ourselves to be fully loving if we disregard any aspect of reality: “Peace, justice and the preservation of creation are three absolutely interconnected themes, which cannot be separated and treated individually without once again falling into reductionism”.
Leadership
We lack leadership capable of striking out on new paths and meeting the needs of the present with concern for all and without prejudice towards coming generations.
Transfiguration
“Beauty is one of the best loved names expressing the divine harmony and the model of humanity transfigured, appears everywhere: in the shape of a church, in the sounds, in the colors, in the lights, in the scents”.
Work
If we reflect on the proper relationship between human beings and the world around us, we see the need for a correct understanding of work; if we talk about the relationship between human beings and things, the question arises as to the meaning and purpose of all human activity.
