I am simply a pilgrim beginning the last leg of his pilgrimage on this earth.

One who has hope lives differently.

The Catholic Church is not dead, it is not even tired!

Dear young people, the Church depends on you! She needs your lively faith, your creative charity and the energy of your hope. Your presence renews, rejuvenates and gives new energy to the Church.

In silence, we are better able to listen to and understand ourselves; ideas come to birth and acquire depth; we understand with greater clarity what it is we want to say and what we expect from others; and we choose how to express ourselves.

The Church is not a political power, nor a political party, but rather a moral reality, a moral force.
