The Holy Spirit helps us to view others with fresh eyes, seeing them always as brothers and sisters in Jesus, to be respected and loved.
There are no part-time Christians.
Every time we give in to selfishness and say “No” to God, we spoil his loving plan for us.
It is horrific even to think that there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day
Let us never give in to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day. Do not give in to pessimism and discouragement. We have the firm certainty that the Holy Spirit gives the Church with His mighty breath, the courage to persevere and also to seek new methods of evangelization, to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
How does St. Joseph exercise his role as protector? Discreetly, humbly and silently, but with an unfailing presence and utter fidelity, even when he finds it hard to understand.
Obeying God is listening to God, having an open heart to follow the path that God points out to us
If we act like children of God, knowing that he loves us, our lives will be made new, filled with serenity and joy.
This is Christian hope, that the future is in God's hands.
Only those who serve with love are able to protect!
Fraternal love is the nearest testimony that we can give that Jesus is alive among us.
Christmas celebrations are often full of sound. It would be good for us to make room for silence, to hear the voice of Love.
I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church... a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative.
One cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life. Those who listen to us and observe us must be able to see in our actions what they hear from our lips, and so give glory to God!
