Wim & Francis

My friend Karla told me inspiring stories about Pope Francis on our sunny subway ride together with our daughters and I found these words spoken by Pope Francis as filmed by Wim Wenders:

"The way to escape consumerism, this corruption, this competitiveness, this being enslaved to money, is the concreteness of day-to-day work, is tangible reality. 

I like to talk about the three 'Ts'

Trabajo
Tierra
Techo

Roof means home, family. Recovering this sense of family.

Land means work, cultivating the land.

And work means precisely the most noble thing that man has: to imitate God with your hands by creating!"
