To all of you, I repeat: Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope! Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope! And not only that, but I say to us all: let us not rob others of hope, let us become bearers of hope!
Do not be afraid to go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.
I cannot imagine a Christian who does not know how to smile. May we joyfully witness to our faith.
The Lord is knocking at the door of our hearts. Have we put a sign on the door saying: 'Do not disturb'?
Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.
Do not be afraid to dream great things!
To be friends with God means to pray with simplicity, like children talking to their parents.
Let us protect with love all that God has given us!
I believe in the kindness of others, and that I must love them without fear.
I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth, and not ruled by it.
Vocations are born in prayer and from prayer; and only in prayer can they persevere and bear fruit.
Everyone must be a missionary, everyone can hear that call of Jesus and go forth and proclaim the Kingdom!
The important thing is to not walk alone, but to rely on each other as brothers and sisters
The Lord always grants more than what he has been asked: you ask him to remember you, and he brings you into his Kingdom!
