Monday 12th July :  Let us ask the Lord to show us and the world the beauty and fullness of this new life, of being born of the Spirit, of treating each other with kindness, with respect. Let us ask for his grace for us all.
                                                                                                                       

Tuesday 13th July : How many people no longer see meaning in life or prospects for the future, how many have lost hope? And how many are plunged into this destitution by unjust social conditions, by unemployment, which takes their dignity as breadwinners, and by the lack of equal access to education and health care?

Wednesday 14th July:  Be sanctuaries of respect for life, proclaiming the sacredness of every human life from conception to natural death.

Thursday 15th July:  Whenever material things, money, worldliness, become the centre of our lives, they take hold of us, they possess us; we lose our very identity as human beings.

Friday 16th July: A father knows all too well what it costs to hand down this heritage: how close, how gentle and how firm to be. But what consolation and what recompense he receives when the children honour this legacy! It is a joy that rewards all the toil, that overcomes every understanding, and heals every wound.

Saturday 17th July:  Let us focus on respect for others, looking especially at our attitude toward the young, since it is the parent-child or grandparent-grandchild relation that best reveals whether the older person has mastered a crisis or fled from it.
