Worshipping the Lord means giving him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing-not only by our words- that he alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before him that he is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.

Life rejuvenates and acquires energy when it multiplies: It is enriched, not impoverished.

God always has patience.

All it takes is one good person to restore hope.

And with a little sense of humor we can say that there are Christian bats who prefer the shadows to the light of the presence of the Lord.

To all of you, I repeat: Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope! Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope! And not only that, but I say to us all: let us not rob others of hope, let us become bearers of hope!

I pray every day for all who are suffering in Iraq. Please join me.
