Be close to the poor and to those in need, so as to touch in their flesh the wounded flesh of Jesus. Please, draw near to them!

The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept His offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness, and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew.

We are all missionary disciples

We cannot trust in our own strength, but only in Jesus and in his mercy.

Jesus Christ conferred power upon Peter, but what sort of power was it? Jesus’ three questions to Peter about love are followed by three commands: feed my lambs, feed my sheep. Let us never forget that authentic power is service, and that the Pope too, when exercising power, must enter ever more fully into that service which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.

The Cross isn't an ornament, mere symbol. It's the mystery of God's love, that He died for our sins.

I don’t know if it is all (man’s fault) but the majority is, for the most part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature.
