God’s love is free. He asks for nothing in return; all he wants is for his love to be accepted.
Human life must always be defended from its beginning in the womb and must be recognised as a gift of God that guarantees the future of humanity.
We must walk united with our differences: there is no other way to become one. This is the way of Jesus.
The great danger in today's world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.
In our families we learn to love and to recognise the dignity of all, especially of the elderly
Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.
The great biblical tradition enjoins on all peoples the duty to hear the voice of the poor. It bids us break the bonds of injustice and oppression which give rise to glaring, and indeed scandalous, social inequalities.
We must overcome...all forms of racism. The problem of intolerance should be dealt with as a whole: every time a minority is persecuted and marginalized...the good of the whole society is in danger.
The Holy Spirit transforms and renews us, creates harmony and unity, and gives us courage and joy for mission.
Let us pray for peace: peace in the world and in each of our hearts.
Joy cannot be held at heel: it must be let go. Joy is a pilgrim virtue. It is a gift that walks, walks on the path of life, that walks with Jesus: preaching, proclaiming Jesus, proclaiming joy, lengthens and widens that path.
There is no cross, big or small, in our life which the Lord does not share with us.
The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need, those who have nothing apart from their poverty!
From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.
