Let's say 'Nol'
to an economy of exclusion and inequality
where money rules instead of serving.
This economy kills!
This economy excludes.
The economy destroys Mother Earth.

In a world where there are so many farmers without land, so many families without a home, so many workers without rights...?
Do we realize that things don't go well, when soil, water and air and all living beings of creation are under permanent threat?
Freedom to speech does not mean freedom to spread lies and misinformation 🙂
I’m inviting my FOLLOWERS (old and new) to reply to THIS POST with their $handles 🙂
We must not remain silent.
No!
The way to escape consumerism, this corruption, this competitiveness,
this being enslaved to money, is the concreteness of day-to-day work,
is tangible reality!
I like to talk about the three Ts: trabajo, tierra and techo.
When you don't earn the bread, you lose your dignity!
This lack of work...
This lack of work robs us of dignity!
We must fight for this, we must defend our dignity,
as citizens, as men and women, as young people.
That is the tragedy of our time.
Think about it that among young people of 25 or less more than 40% don't have work!
What do young people do without a job?
What future do they have?
What path of life do they choose?
This is serious!
“Mummy, I want a baby brother.” “But you’ve just got one.”
“I want another.”
“Well, you can’t have one so soon. It takes time to produce a baby brother.”
“Why don’t you do what Daddy does at the factory?”
“What’s that?”
“Put more men on the job.”

In 1970, I had to travel to a meeting of teachers for novices.
I'm talking about 1970.
In the city where this took place they gave me a tour,
and for the first time I saw a gated community.
A protected neighborhood, separated from the rest.
A group of expectant fathers sat nervously in the hall. A nurse beckoned to one of them and said, “Congratulations, you have a son!”
Another man dropped his magazine, jumped up and cried, “Hey, what’s the idea? I got here two hours before he did!”

I say it again: as long as the church is placing its hope on wealth,
Jesus is not there.
It's an NGO for charity or culture, but it's not the church of Jesus.
Poverty is at the center of the gospel!

There are diseases and temptations that weaken our service to the Lord.
Let's begin with the disease of thinking we are 'immortal', 'immune', or downright 'indispensable', neglecting the need for regular check-ups.
The Slovenians believed that the power to govern rested with the people who were to be governed, not those who were governing. They believed that their rulers should be men of the people, of all the people.
We either serve God or we serve money.
And the big temptation that was felt throughout history by Christians, by man, and by the Church, has always been wealth.
In the Church there are men, who have yielded, and are still yielding to those temptations.
Also notice, ..., the questions asked of the duke. “Can he be a judge? Is he concerned with the well-being of the country?” He was not asked whether he was a nobleman..., nor was he asked whether any interest group would receive special consideration.
