\nEach person must remember the need to forgive, the need for forgiveness and the need for patience. This is the secret of mercy: by forgiving one is forgiven.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nTomorrow we will celebrate the solemnity of St. Joseph. In life, in work, in the family, in joy, in pain, he always searched for, and loved, the Lord. That's why in Scripture, he is called a righteous and wise man. Invoke him always with faith, especially in difficult moments. Entrust to this great saint your existence.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI encourage the faithful to approach, in a sincere way, the mercy of God, through confession, and to pray especially for those who are being put to the test because of the pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n
