Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary enthusiasm!

The Sacraments are the manifestation of the Father’s tenderness and love towards each of us.

If a person has done wrong, is conscious of what he has done and does not say sorry, I ask God to take him into account. I forgive him, but he does not receive that forgiveness, he is closed to forgiveness. We must forgive, because we were all forgiven. It is another thing to receive that forgiveness.

How many Christians live for appearances? Their life seems like a soap bubble. The soap bubble is beautiful, with all its colours! But it lasts only a second, and then what?

It's true, harm to Catholics must always be avoided, and all of us do this...but not at the price of the truth!

We must learn from Mary, and we must imitate her unconditional readiness to receive Christ in her life.

Jesus wanted to show us his heart as the heart that loved so deeply. For this reason we have this commemoration today, especially of God's love. God loved us, he loved us with such great love. I am thinking of what St Ignatius told us.... He pointed out two criteria on love. The first: love is expressed more clearly in actions than in words. The second: there is greater love in giving than in receiving.
