Jesus came to save us: let us not reject this marvelous gift!
The family is the most important wealth of a nation. May we endeavor to defend and strengthen the foundation of society.
True love does not pay attention to the evil it suffers. It rejoices in doing good.
Practicing charity is the best way to evangelize.
Christian love is loving without counting the cost. This is the lesson of the Good Samaritan; this is the lesson of Jesus.
Charity that does not change the situation of the poor isn't enough.
In this Year of Faith, let us remember that faith is not something we possess, but something we share. Every Christian is an apostle.
True peace is not a balance of opposing forces, and it is not ‘a lovely façade’ simply covering conflicts and divisions. Rather, peace calls for daily commitment -- it's homemade -- starting from God's gift, from the grace which he has given us in Jesus Christ.
In the difficult moments of life, Christians can turn to the Mother of God and find protection and care.
Do not be afraid of what God asks of you! It is worth saying `yes' to God. In him we find joy.
Resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good.
Let us never lose hope! God loves us always, even with our mistakes and sins.
Our Christian witness is authentic when it is faithful and unconditional.
Everyone say to himself: 'When was the last time I went to confession?' And if it has been a long time, don't lose another day! Go, the priest will be good. And Jesus, (will be) there, and Jesus is better than the priests - Jesus receives you. He will receive you with so much love! Be courageous, and go to confession,
