The Pope has often suggested three little words to the families, to make daily life more beautiful. The first word: "please" is not just a matter of good education—says the Pope—but a sign of concern for others, a way that we can express our care and our love for our parents and siblings. Even Jesus knocks at our door, asking permission and patiently waiting for us to open. 

 

 

 

 

The second word is "thank you," and here the Pope was very hard and severe: God help us if we do not learn to be grateful, to say thank you, to recognize the good that we do for each other in the family. How many times do you say "thank you" to Mom and Dad for all that they give you?
