True charity requires courage: Let us overcome the fear of getting our hands dirty so as to help those in need.

What God cares about most is that we are His friends.

Jesus is not a figure from the past: He continues now and always to light the way for us.

Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!

To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.

May each family rediscover family prayer, which helps to bring about mutual understanding and forgiveness.
