The next Sunday, July 4, celebrated in the English Church Day of responsibility in traffic. The Episcopal Conference queire invite all Christians and society in general to focus attention on the meaning and the importance of driving, which has become a common occurrence in our daily lives.
In these days of summer, millions of people move from place to place to start your holiday or returning from the same, not forgetting those who do daily business and social reasons. However, it is clear that when we get in the way, we hope to get safely to our destinations. But this is unfortunately not always the case.
road safety experts predict that by 2015, road accidents could become the leading cause of disability among children and youth around the world. Of the 1.2 million people die annually in traffic accidents in the world, almost a third are younger than 25 years. These data impact for themselves and are sufficiently eloquent.
For the hope of reaching the destination is not frustrated, it is necessary, first, to stake everything on our part for the safety of people traveling in our vehicles and those of others. On the other hand, we can not forget the nature of the very virtue of hope in relation to driving, as we remember the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant People.
