The poet Mario Benedetti wrote: “Defend joy as a trench … defend joy as a principle … defend joy as a flag … defend joy as a destiny … defend joy as a certainty … defend joy as a right.”
It seems that these words were made for the present moment, in which every day there are new distractions and worries that threaten our tranquility. That is why this phrase “defend joy” summarizes our approach, the attitude we want to adopt as a family and community to continue building a world of peace. It is easy to get stressed and get hooked with anxiety to the news media, but let’s remember that our most important work is at home. We invite you to be alert and make conscious decisions to safeguard peace and build love, faith and joy in the home. Let no one take away that right!
With love,
