One

"Make of humanity one sole family." How can we create one family of mankind? It starts in each heart. Every person needs to open his/her heart to each person around them at the moment. Each trying to love the other as him/herself. God created everyone in His own image and likeness because He loved them, so every individual is His precious child. Let's go ahead together to be one family in love, in God who is Love itself.

Golden

"Don't do to others what we don't want done to ourselves." It's the Golden Rule, but stated in the negative. Some form of the Golden Rule is found in just about every religion. Let's go ahead together to love others as ourselves, remembering that we're all brothers and sisters in God's family.

Enrichment

"We are mutually enriched by our diversities." As Pope Francis reminded us yesterday, the United States is a nation of immigrants; every culture brought traditions, gifts, ideas and strengths that built up our country. Let's keep enriching each other by getting to know one another, to understand one other, and to love one another as ourselves.

The Good

"Desire the good of everyone." When we love someone, we want only what is good for them, just as we want what's good for ourselves. But, what is the greatest good? To have a relationship with God, to know His immense and personal love, and to love Him in return. Of course, we don't try to force God on anyone, because God also leaves us free to respond to His love, or not. We simply love each person as much as we can, and--if our joy and our way of life attracts them and they say that they want to "have" what we do--then we can share "the cause of our joy."
