The family is where we are formed as people. Every family is a brick in the building of society
But always think this: do not be afraid of failure. Do not be afraid of falling. In the art of walking, what is important is not avoiding the fall but not remaining fallen.
We all need to improve, to change for the better. Lent helps us fight against our faults.
The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus.
The real power is love, that which empowers others, that which arouses action, that which no chain is able to hold back, for even on the Cross or on the death bed one is able to love. One does not need youthful beauty, nor recognition or approval, nor money or prestige. Let love simply bloom...and it is unstoppable.
The cry of a baby is God's voice: never drive them away from the church!
We are all called to be friends with Jesus. Don’t be afraid to love the Lord.
A small step, in the midst of great human limitations, can be more pleasing to God than a life which appears outwardly in order but moves through the day without confronting great difficulties.
...these things become the norm: that some homeless people die of cold on the streets is not news. In contrast, a ten point drop on the stock markets of some cities, is a tragedy. A person dying is not news, but if the stock markets drop ten points it is a tragedy! Thus people are disposed of, as if they were trash.
God’s faithfulness is stronger than our unfaithfulness and our infidelities.
The Holy Spirit transforms and renews us, creates harmony and unity, and gives us courage and joy for mission.
How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.
I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner.
May no one use religion as a pretext for actions against human dignity and against the fundamental rights of every man and woman.
