The Task of Reconciliation
What is our task in this world as children of God and brothers and sisters of Jesus? Our task is reconciliation. Wherever we go we see divisions among people - in families, communities, cities, countries, and continents. All these divisions are tragic reflections of our separation from God. The truth that all people belong together as members of one family under God is seldom visible. Our sacred task is to reveal that truth in the reality of everyday life.
Why is that our task? Because God sent Christ to reconcile us with God and to give us the task of reconciling people with one another. As people reconcile with God through Christ we have been given the ministry of reconciliation" (see: 2 Corinthians 5:18). So whatever we do the main question is, Does it lead to reconciliation among people?

Benedict XVI: A Pope for This Generation
Youth Web Site Shares Pontiff's Legacy on 'Digital Continent'
Benedict XVI has been a leading advocate of the evangelization of the "digital continent." Now, as the Pope prepares to leave the See of Peter, young people are using the "digital continent" to tell their own stories about a pope who has profoundly impacted their lives.
Throughout this year's 40 days of Lent, an online initiative called Generation Benedict is publishing 40 testimonies, one for each day, from young people who have grown in their faith during Pope Benedict's pontificate.
Bloggers Collette Power and Lisette Carr came up with the idea for Generation Benedict after receiving the news that the Holy Father would resign at the end of this month.
Speaking with ZENIT, Lisette Carr, who is currently based in Dublin, explained that the aim of Generation Benedict is to highlight the "positive impact the Holy Father has had on young Catholics from the UK and Ireland."
