Making a Difference: Lessons for humanity from an inspiring pope on his 100th birthday

Celebrating the Eucharist at St. Pope John Paul II's tomb in St. Peter's Basilica on the 100th anniversary of the saint's birth (May 18), Pope Francis said in his homily that God loves his people, and in times of difficulty visits them by sending a holy man or a prophet.

Humanity may never again get a chance like this - let's not squander it!

While to a certain degree returning to "business as usual" will not likely happen, that does not mean the vast majority of those who hold most of the world's wealth and power will not use every advantage at their disposal in trying to hold onto broken, corrupt, unjust systems - what St. Pope John Paul II called "structures of sin" - which feed their greed while starving the morally just aspirations of the world's poor and vulnerable.
