There are those who think that their thoughts, words, and actions have the same value as those of anyone else’s. But that is manifestly not the case. The problem is: “Who or what evaluates the goodness or the evilness of our thoughts, words, and actions?” If your answer is that everyone decides for themselves then you live in a world of subjectivity in which truth and goodness are unreal and irrelevant and love is but a sentiment. Everything is then ruled by feelings.
Sound familiar?

These are the words from song sung during World Youth Day back in 1995 and repeated at the end of Pope Francis’ just concluded trip to the Philippines:
For God so loved the world
He gave us His only Son
Jesus Christ our Savior
His most precious one
He has sent us His message of love
And sends those who hear
To bring the message to everyone
In a voice loud and clear
Let us tell the world of His love
The greatest love the world has known
Search the world for those who have walked
Astray and lead them home
Fill the world's darkest corners
With His light from up above
Walk every step, Every mile, Every road
And tell the world! Tell the world of His love!

“and lead us not into temptation”
O Lord, when I am being tempted
be with me,
lead me in my time of temptation,
lead me out of temptation,
protect me in my temptation,
strengthen me in my time of temptation,
for I am weak and I need You.
