Hi,
My name is Isabel.
I promise to read the encyclical letter of Pope Paul VI Populorum Progressio. I will read one paragraph a day (87 in total) and reflect on its content. Since the idea for livesimply comes from this document I want to find out more about it and be inspired by it to live more simply. I would like another 10 people to do the same.
‘The hungry nations of the world cry out to the peoples blessed with abundance. And the Church, cut to the quick by this cry, asks each and every man to hear his brother’s plea and answer it lovingly’ (End of paragraph 3)
You can find the text of the encyclical letter in internet
