5th Sunday in Ordinary Timesalt and light

Pope Francis said  "Look at your hands. God has placed the gift of life, the future of society and the future of this great country in those hands of yours. 
Dear brother, dear sister, do your hands not seem small and frail, empty and unsuited to so great a task? 
. . . your hands all look alike, but none of them is exactly the same. No one has hands just like yours, and that is a sign that you are a unique, unrepeatable and incomparable treasure. No one in history can replace you.
So ask yourself, what are my hands for? For building up or for tearing down, for giving or for grabbing, for loving or for hating? "  Kinshasa, 2nd February 2023
