The Gospel, radiant with the glory of Christ’s cross, constantly invites us to rejoice.

Today is my anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Please pray for me and all priests.

Jesus’ Cross shows the full force of evil, but also the full power of God’s mercy.

Dear young people, put your talents at the service of the Gospel, with creativity and boundless charity.

Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.

Profound peace, spiritual consolation, love of God and love of all things in God - this is the sign that you are on this right path.

What is most important subject you have to learn in life? To learn how to love. This is the challenge that life offers you: to learn bow to love. Not just to accumulate information without knowing what to do with it. But through that love, let that information bear fruit.
