Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.

I cannot live without people. I need to live my life with others.

Being a Christian means renouncing ourselves, taking up the cross and carrying it with Jesus. There is no other way.

It is not enough to say we are Christians. We must live the faith, not only with our words, but with our actions.

Christmas celebrations are often full of sound. It would be good for us to make room for silence, to hear the voice of Love.

A Christian is one who is invited... to join in the feast, to the joy of being saved, to the joy of being redeemed, to the joy of sharing life with Christ. This is a joy! You are called to a party!

It's best to not confuse optimism with hope. Optimism is a psychological attitude toward life. Hope goes further. It is an anchor that one hurls toward the future, it's what lets you pull on the line and reach what you're aiming for and head in the right direction. Hope is also theological: God is there, too.
