A great challenge: stop ruining the garden which God has entrusted to us so that all may enjoy it.
You may be poor yourselves in material ways, but you have an abundance of gifts to offer when you offer Christ and the community of his Church.
May the World Day of Consecrated Life be a timely occasion to rediscover the centrality of Jesus in our lives.
We are all sinners. But may the Lord not let us be hypocrites. Hypocrites don’t know the meaning of forgiveness, joy and the love of God.
When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.
Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.
May the Lord bless the family and strengthen it in this moment of crisis
I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!
This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.
Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.
Lent is a favorable time for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like Him.
I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.
There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.
May we always say thank you to God, especially for his patience and mercy.
