June 30.  God uses all kinds of people young and old, educated and simple people, to spread his message and send out warnings. Amos was a herdsman but called by God to warn the people of the time about their evil ways.  It can be frightening to look into the signs of the times and speak out. Student movements have sprung up in different places and they often protest about rights. Young people in movements such as YCS are being trained to read the signs of the times today, to act, not just to react and demand their own way. Together with their leaders and guides they have an important role to play

Reflect, share and act. Scripture.  “The Lord said to me, “Go and prophesy to my people Israel! Amos 7: 10 – 17.  Pope Francis:  Being Church means being God’s people in accordance with the great plan of fatherly love.  

“I would like to reiterate the appeal for peace, justice and fraternity that I and the Grand Imam Ahmad Al-Tayyeb made together. In the name of God who has created all human beings equal in rights, duties and dignity, and who has called them to live together as brothers and sisters, to fill the earth and make known the values of goodness, love and peace ……………

 in the name of innocent human life, the poor, destitute and those most in need, orphans, widows, refugees and exiles, victims of war,…….   and in the name of human fraternity and freedom we declare the adoption of a culture of dialogue, mutual cooperation and reciprocal understanding.”   From 2019  Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together. 285.
