Consumerism has accustomed us to waste. But throwing food away is like stealing it from the poor and hungry.

God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.

When you meet the needy your heart grows bigger

Dear young people, Christ asks you to be wide awake and alert, to see the things in life that really matter.

At times we are slaves of sin. Lord, come to free us!

How I wish that all men and women of good will would look to the Cross if only for a moment! There, we can see God’s reply: violence is not answered with violence, death is not answered with the language of death. In the silence of the Cross, the uproar of weapons ceases and the language of reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue, and peace is spoken.

Let us say "Yes" to life and not death. Let us say "Yes" to freedom and not enslavement to the many idols of our time. In a word, let us say "Yes" to the God who is love, life and freedom, and who never disappoints.
