The great challenge facing us today is to learn once again how to talk to one another, not simply how to generate and consume information.

Confirmation strengthens us to defend the faith and to spread the Gospel courageously

The Holy Spirit transforms and renews us, creates harmony and unity, and gives us courage and joy for mission.

We need to reflect with great seriousness about why many young people don't feel like getting married... For fear of failure, many do not want to even think about it...

Every economic...acti on must set about providing each inhabitant of the planet with the minimum wherewithal to live in dignity and freedom, with the possibility of supporting a family, educating children, praising God and developing one's own human potential.

There are some things we really need to take care of: the children, and grandparents. Children, whether they are young or older, they are the strength that moves us forward. We place our hope in them.Grandparents are the living memory of the family. They passed on the faith, they transmitted the faith, to us.

The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes.
