The missionary experience is part of Christian formation and it is important for adolescents and young people to be able to live it personally.

The Gospel purifies and renews, it bears fruit, wherever the community of believers hears it and receives God’s grace in truth and charity. This is my confidence, this is my joy.

A spiritual desert is spreading: an interior emptiness, an unnamed fear, a quiet sense of despair.

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!

Respecting the environment does not mean considering material or animal nature more important than man. Rather, it means not selfishly considering nature to be at the complete disposal of our own interests, for future generations also have the right to reap its benefits and to exhibit towards nature the same responsible freedom that we claim for ourselves. Nor must we overlook the poor, who are excluded in many cases from the goods of creation destined for all.

Believing is nothing other than, in the darkness of the world, touching the hand of God, and in this way, in silence, hearing the Word, seeing love.

God loves us; we need only to summon up the humility to allow ourselves to be loved.
