A Christian brings peace to others. Not only peace, but also love, kindness, faithfulness and joy.
To be an ambassador for Christ means to invite everyone to a personal encounter with Jesus
Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
Each encounter with Jesus fills us with joy, with that deep joy which only God can give.
When one lives attached to money, pride or power, it is impossible to be truly happy
Do I take the Gospel message of reconciliation and love into the places where I live and work?
Let us leave a spare place at our table: a place for those who lack the basics, who are alone.
When families bring children into the world, train them in faith and sound values, and teach them to contribute to society, they become a blessing in our world.
We must not let ourselves fall into the vortex of pessimism. Faith can move mountains!
What is most important subject you have to learn in life? To learn how to love. This is the challenge that life offers you: to learn bow to love. Not just to accumulate information without knowing what to do with it. But through that love, let that information bear fruit.
Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she bears witness to God’s love. Be missionaries of God’s tenderness!
Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.
The security of faith does not make us motionless or close us off, but sends us forth to bear witness and to dialogue with all people.
Dear young people, pray with me for peace in the world.
