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!
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!
