Jesus’ Cross shows the full force of evil, but also the full power of God’s mercy.
How many innocent people and children suffer in the world! Lord, grant us your peace!
A credible witness to truth and to the values of the Gospel is urgently needed.
Without mercy, we have little chance nowadays of becoming part of a world of 'wounded' persons in need of understanding, forgiveness, love.
The world tells us to seek success, power and money; God tells us to seek humility, service and love.
Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
Sometimes tears are the glasses that we need to see Jesus.
The Philippines bear witness to the youthfulness and vitality of the Church.
With Christ as the center of your life, you will never be disappointed.
Faith transforms the whole person precisely to the extent that he or she becomes open to love.
A Christian is never bored or sad. Rather, the one who loves Christ is full of joy and radiates joy.
Our deepest joy comes from Christ: remaining with him, walking with him, being his disciples.
When we meet a person truly in need, do we see the face of God?
Advent increases our hope, a hope which does not disappoint. The Lord never lets us down.
