Let us remember well, however, that whenever food is thrown out it is as if it were stolen from the table of the poor, from the hungry!

As Christians, our duty is to pray for them and ask the Lord to give them the grace of penance, so that they don't die with a corrupt heart, because otherwise the dogs of hell will take their blood.

The poor is the center of the Gospel. If we take out the poor, we cannot understand the message of Christ

We cannot give up in the face of evil. God is Love and he has defeated evil through Christ’s death and resurrection.

There are no part-time Christians.

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. The latter is a tendency which our important and influential modern communications media can encourage. Information is important, but it is not enough. All too often things get simplified, different positions and viewpoints are pitted against one another, and people are invited to take sides, rather than to see things as a whole.

The family is the greatest treasure of any country. Let us all work to protect and strengthen this, the cornerstone of society.
