Monday 26th July :  Homes for the elderly should be “lungs” of humanity in a town, a neighbourhood, or a parish. They should be the “sanctuaries” of humanity, where one who is old and weak is cared for and protected like a big brother or sister.
                                                                                                                       

Tuesday 27th July : The reality is that elderly people are being abandoned; the elderly are so often discarded with the attitude of abandonment, which is actually real and a hidden euthanasia! It is the result of a throwaway culture which is so harmful to our world.

Wednesday 28th July:  Children are thrown away, young people are thrown away because they have no work, and the elderly are thrown away with the pretence of maintaining a “balanced” economy, which has at it’s centre not the human person but money. We are all called to oppose this throw away culture!

Thursday 29th July:  Cultivating and caring for creation is an instruction of God which he gave not only at the beginning of history, but has also given to each one of us; it is part of his plan; it means making the world increase with responsibility, transforming it so that it may be a garden, inhabitable place for all of us.

Friday 30th July: Let us respect creation, let us not be instruments of destruction! Let us respect each human being. May there be an end to armed conflicts which cover the earth with blood; may the clash of arms be silenced; and everywhere may hatred yield to love., injury to pardon, and discord to unity.

Saturday 31st July:  A better world will come about only if attention is first paid to individuals; if human promotion is integral, taking account of every dimension of the person, including the spiritual; if no one is neglected, including the poor, the sick, prisoners, the needy and the stranger(cf Matt: 25:31-46
