The love of God is not generic. God looks with love upon every man and woman, calling them by name.

I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!

To follow Jesus means to share his merciful love for every human being.

We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.

We have begun a throw away culture. This tendency is seen on the level of individuals and whole societies; and it is being promoted! In circumstances like these, solidarity, which is the treasure of the poor, is often considered counterproductive, opposed to the logic of finance and the economy. While the income of a minority is increasing exponentially, that of the majority is crumbling.

I think both freedom of religion and freedom of expression are both fundamental human rights, everyone has not only the freedom and the right but the obligation to say what Pope Francis thinks for the common good... we have the right to have this freedom openly without offending.

The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.
