From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.

Vanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church.

Let those desert places in our hearts bloom.

In Confession, Jesus welcomes us with all our sinfulness, to give us a new heart, capable of loving as he loves.

Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is Good.

There is no worse material poverty than one that does not allow for earning one’s bread and deprives one of the dignity of work. Youth unemployment, informality, and the lack of labor rights are not inevitable; they are the result of a previous social option, of an economic system that puts profit above man; if the profit is economic, to put it above humanity or above man, is the effect of a disposable culture that considers the human being in himself as a consumer good, which can be used and then discarded.

We learn many virtues in our Christian families. Above all, we learn to love, asking nothing in return.
