Let us keep the flame of faith alive through prayer and the sacraments: let us make sure we do not forget God.
Our Lady is always close to us, especially when we feel the weight of life with all its problems
Our Mother Mary is full of beauty because she is full of grace.
Dear young people, put your talents at the service of the Gospel, with creativity and boundless charity.
This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.
Let yourselves be led by the Holy Spirit, with freedom and, please, do not cage the Holy Spirit
Be close tot he poor, the needy, to touch in their flesh the flesh of Jesus. Be close, please
It is important to have friends we can trust. But it is essential to trust the Lord, who never lets us down.
Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.
The Eucharist is essential for us: it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.
To live charitably means not looking out for our own interests, but carrying the burdens of the weakest and poorest among us.
Let us pray to the Lord and ask him to protect the family in the crisis with which the devil wants to destroy it. Families are the domestic church where Jesus grows in the love of a married couple, in the lives of their children.
Do not be afraid of Confession! One who is in line to confess himself feels all these things - even shame - but then, when he finishes confessing, he leaves free, great, beautiful, forgiven, [...] happy. And this is the beauty of Confession... Jesus is there...and He receives you with so much love.
Let's pray for whole world that there be brotherhood. I hope this journey of the church we begin today is fruitful for evangelization.
