Sometimes tears are the glasses that we need to see Jesus.
Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
The world tells us to seek success, power and money; God tells us to seek humility, service and love.
Without mercy, we have little chance nowadays of becoming part of a world of 'wounded' persons in need of understanding, forgiveness, love.
Vocations are born in prayer and from prayer; and only in prayer can they persevere and bear fruit.
I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth, and not ruled by it.
Let us protect with love all that God has given us!
To be friends with God means to pray with simplicity, like children talking to their parents.
Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.
I cannot imagine a Christian who does not know how to smile. May we joyfully witness to our faith.
Do not be afraid to go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.
