If we see someone who needs help, do we stop? There is so much suffering and poverty, and a great need for good Samaritans.
To live as true children of God means to love our neighbour and to be close to those who are lonely and in difficulty
The Church is called to draw near to every person, beginning with the poorest and those who suffer.
If, in your relationship with the Lord, you do not feel that He loves you tenderly, you are missing something, you still have not understood what grace is, you have not yet received grace which is this closeness.
We too can be saints in our family, in our neighborhood, wherever we live and work. Be a person who listens to what people need, communicating not only to grieve or tell others about your own problems. Listen in order to intercede and help out.
Do not be content to live a mediocre Christian life: walk with determination along the path of holiness.
Let Christ turn your natural optimism into Christian hope, your energy into moral virtue, your good will into genuine self-sacrificin g love! This is the path you are called to take. This is the path to overcoming all that threatens hope, virtue and love in your lives and in your culture. In this way your youth will be a gift to Jesus and to the world.
Jesus is not a figure from the past: He continues now and always to light the way for us.
In imitation of our Master, we Christians are called to confront the poverty of our brothers and sisters, to touch it, to make it our own and to take practical steps to alleviate it.
Every economic...acti on must set about providing each inhabitant of the planet with the minimum wherewithal to live in dignity and freedom, with the possibility of supporting a family, educating children, praising God and developing one's own human potential.
Dear young people, Jesus wants to be your friend, and wants you to spread the joy of this friendship everywhere.
Let love simply bloom... and it is unstoppable.
Christians know how to face difficulties, trials and defeat with serenity and hope in the Lord.
In a family it is normal to take charge of those who need help. Do not be afraid of frailty!
