Let us pause before the Child of Bethlehem. Let us allow our hearts to be touched, let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of God; we need his caress. God is full of love: to him be praise and glory forever! God is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world. Let us allow ourselves to be moved by God's goodness.
May both of them [Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II] teach us not to be scandalized by the wounds of Christ and to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of divine mercy, which always hopes and always forgives, because it always loves.
I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!
Inequality is the root of social evil.
Whoever does not pray to God, prays to the devil. When one does not profess Jesus Christ, one professes the worldliness of the devil.
We live in an age rather skeptical of truth, of its existence." There is a "tendency to believe that nothing is definitive, and think that the truth is given by consent or by what we want. The question arises: does "the" truth really exist? What is "the" truth? Can we know it? Can we find it?
The Family is the salt of the earth and the light of the world, it is the leaven of society.
Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.
War is the suicide of humanity because it kills the heart and kills love.
We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.
The only war that we must all fight is the one against evil.
Christ is always faithful. Let us pray to be always faithful to him.
We cannot give up in the face of evil. God is Love and he has defeated evil through Christ’s death and resurrection.
God loves us. May we discover the beauty of loving and being loved.
