Do not be afraid to say “yes” to Jesus, to find your joy in doing his will...

Jesus Christ does not teach us a spirituality “of closed eyes”, but one of “alertness”, one which entails an absolute duty to take notice of the needs of others and of situations involving those whom the Gospel tells us are our neighbours. The gaze of Jesus, what “his eyes” teach us, leads to human closeness, solidarity, giving time, sharing our gifts and even our material goods.

Friends, do not be afraid of silence or stillness. Listen to God. Adore Him in the Eucharist.

Grant that we may be one flock and one shepherd! Do not allow your net to be torn, help us to be servants of unity!

An authentic updating of sacred music can take place only in the lineage of the great tradition of the past, of Gregorian chant and of sacred polyphony.

Faith is above all a personal, intimate encounter with Jesus, and to experience [His] closeness, [His] friendship, [His] Love; only in this way does one learn to know [Him] ever more, and to love and follow [Him] ever more. May this happen to each one of us.

Anyone who has discovered Christ must lead others to him. A great joy cannot be kept to oneself. It has to be passed on.
