Every expression of true beauty can be acknowledged as a path leading to an encounter with the Lord Jesus.

Today too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others.

We cannot be Christians part-time. If Christ is at the center of our lives, he is present in all that we do.

I say only that this man [Donald Trump] is not Christian if he has said things like that [about wall]. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.

During my visit to the Philippines, I wanted in a particular way to meet with young people, to listen to you and to talk to you. I want to express the love and the hopes of the Church for you. And I want to encourage you as Christian citizens of this country to offer yourselves passionately and honestly to the great work of renewing your society and helping to build a better world.

Our prayer cannot be reduced to an hour on Sundays. It is important to have a daily relationship with the Lord.

The Lord always grants more than what he has been asked: you ask him to remember you, and he brings you into his Kingdom!
