My brothers and sisters, let us always participate prayerfully and actively in the celebration of the Eucharist because true and authentic participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, identifies us with Jesus’s Heart, sustains our strength along the pilgrimage of this life, makes us long for eternal life, and unites us even now to the Church in heaven, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints.
Let us also continue to work very hard in being true, faithful and sincere disciples of Christ by following His example of love, generosity, self-giving, compassion, kindness and unselfishness as we answer our call to discipleship.
Let us love one another by reaching out to our neighbors, by communicating with one another, by listening to one another with our hearts and not just our ears, by understanding each other, by accepting our own faults and wrongdoings; and lastly, by sacrificing when we swallow our pride so that peace will reign.
