The ways of the Lord are not easy, but we were not created for an easy life, but for great things, for goodness.

I too hope in this short reign to be a man of peace.

Discovering the beauty and joy of faith is a path that every new generation must take on its own.

Rediscover the joy of believing.

God is our Father and loves us, even when his silence remains incomprehensible.

God no longer simply stands before us as the One who is totally Other. He is within us, and we are in him. His dynamic enters into us and then seeks to spread outward to others until it fills the world, so that his love can truly become the dominant measure of the world.

To some extent, this urge to break out of the ordinary is present in every generation. Part of being young is desiring something beyond everyday life and a secure job, a yearning for something really truly greater. Is this simply an empty dream that fades away as we become older? No! Men and women were created for something great, for infinity. Nothing else will ever be enough.
