Unrestrained liberalism only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker and excludes the most excluded.

Once capital becomes an idol and guides people's decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity, it sets people against one another and it even puts at risk our common home.

We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, when so many people are waiting for the Gospel!

The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.

The culture of comfort, which makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people.

One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith.

Whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there, waiting for us with open arms.
