More From Pope Francis

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

True generosity consists precisely in fighting to destroy the causes which nourish false charity. false charity constrains the fearful and subdued, the "rejects of life," to extend their trembling hands. true generosity lies in striving so that these hands--whether of individuals or entire peoples--need be extended less and less in supplication, so that more and more they become human hands which work and, working, transform the world.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
We need scientists to design new fuels. we need farmers to help grow them. we need engineers to invent new technologies. we need entrepreneurs to sell those technologies. we need workers to operate assembly lines that hum with high-tech, zero-carbon components. we need builders to hammer into place the foundations for a clean energy age. we need diplomats and businessmen and women, and peace corps volunteers to help developing nations skip past the dirty phase of development and transition to sustainable sources of energy. in other words, we need you.
