In the face of life’s difficulties, let us ask the Lord for the strength to remain joyful witnesses to our faith.
We must not believe the Evil One when he tells us that there is nothing we can do in the face of violence, injustice and sin.
Christ’s love and friendship are no illusion. On the Cross Jesus showed how real they are.
Jesus is more than a friend. He is a teacher of truth and life who shows us the way that leads to happiness.
A Christian who is not a revolutionary today isn't a Christian
The Lord speaks to us through the Scriptures and in our prayer. Let us learn to keep silence before him, as we meditate upon the Gospel.
What God cares about most is that we are His friends.
The secret of Christian living is love. Only love fills the empty spaces caused by evil.
If we take the poor away from the Gospel, we won't be able to understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.
Peace is the language we must speak.
Seeking happiness in material things is a sure way of being unhappy.
Let us learn from Christ how to pray, to forgive, to sow peace, and to be near those in need.
The Internet offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God.
