I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.

This is Christian hope, that the future is in God's hands.

A Christian who withdraws into himself, hiding all that the Lord has given him, is not a Christian! I would ask the many young people present to be generous with their God-given talents for the good of others, the Church and our world.

I wish to extend an invitation to solidarity to everyone, and I would like to encourage those in public office to make every effort to give new impetus to employment, this means caring for the dignity of the person, but above all I would say do not lose hope.

If we take the poor away from the Gospel, we won't be able to understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.

Support your priests with your love and prayers, that they may always be shepherds after Christ’s heart

Don't be afraid to go to the Sacrament of Confession, where you will meet Jesus who forgives you.
