Word of Life – February 2021
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful (Lk. 6: 36).
This passage from scripture invites us to bring about a dramatic change in our lives. Every time we meet with a situation that could leave us feeling offended, instead of adopting an attitude of rejection, irrefutable judgement and revenge, we can choose to show forgiveness and mercy.

The need for hope
This article contains extracts from a talk given by Piero Pasolini in 1979 to a group of young people. Piero was a physicist and you can see evidence of this specialism throughout his reflection. Although the talk took place 42 years ago, he could have been speaking about the world today. He died two years later in 1981.
