Unrestrained liberalism only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker and excludes the most excluded.
Those called to the service of governance in the church need to have a strong sense of justice, so that any form of injustice becomes unacceptable.
I address a strong appeal from my heart that the dignity and safety of the worker always be protected.
Our world needs good and strong families.
Small yet strong in the love of God, like Saint Francis of Assisi, all of us, as Christians, are called to watch over and protect the fragile world in which we live, and all its peoples.
You can have large projects and implement them by means of a few of the smallest things. Or you can use weak means that are more effective than strong ones, as Paul also said in his First Letter to the Corinthians. [...] The wisdom of discernment redeems the necessary ambiguity of life and helps us find the most appropriate means, which do not always coincide with what looks great and strong.
God’s goodness is stronger than any evil!
Around us there is the presence of evil. The devil is at work. But in a loud voice I say: GOD IS STRONGER.
I want to express my closeness to the people of the Philippines who have been struck by a strong earthquake, and I invite you to pray for that dear nation, which in recent days has suffered different calamities.

A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.
A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
Abortion isn't a lesser evil, it's a crime. Taking one life to save another, that's what the Mafia does. It's a crime. It's an absolute evil.
