I thank you, dear Brothers, for preaching the love of Christ and exhorting your people to tolerance, respect and love of their brothers and sisters and of all persons. In this way you exercise the prophetic ministry that the Lord has entrusted to the Church, and in particular to the Successors of the Apostles (cf. Pastores Gregis, 26).

The freedom to kill is not a true freedom, but a tyranny that reduces human beings to slavery.

Our knowledge of Jesus is in need above all of a living experience: Another person's testimony is certainly important, as in general the whole of our Christian life begins with the proclamation that comes to us from one or several witnesses. But we ourselves must be personally involved in an intimate and profound relationship with Jesus.

God's heart calls to our hearts, inviting us to come out of ourselves, to forsake our human certainties, to trust in him and, by following his example, to make ourselves a gift of unbounded love.

The world needs transparent lives, clear souls, pure minds that refuse to be perceived as mere objects of pleasure.

You must know your faith with the same precision with which a specialist in information technology knows the operating system of a computer.

A thirst for the infinite is indelibly present in human beings. Man was created to have a relationship with God; we need him.
