Beauty, then, is not mere decoration, but rather an essential element of the liturgical action, since it is an attribute of God himself and his revelation. These considerations should make us realize the care which is needed, if the liturgical action is to reflect its innate splendour.

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.

God does not have a fixed plan that he must carry out; on the contrary, he has many different ways of finding man and even of turning his wrong ways into right ways...The feast of Christ the King is therefore not a feast of those who are subjugated, but a feast of those who know that they are in the hands of the one who writes straight on crooked lines.

If we allow the love of Christ to change our heart, then we can change the world. This is the secret of authentic happiness.

The one and only Gospel waits to be proclaimed by everyone together, in love and reciprocal esteem.

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

During the season of Lent which begins today, we renew our commitment to the path of conversion, making more room for God in our lives.
