Faith transforms the whole person precisely to the extent that he or she becomes open to love.

We ask the risen Jesus, who turns death into life, to change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace. Yes, Christ is our peace, and through him to implore peace for all the world.

Charity that does not change the situation of the poor isn't enough.

Have the courage to go against the tide of current values that do not conform to the path of Jesus.

This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly... a tragedy... what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!

Being a Christian means renouncing ourselves, taking up the cross and carrying it with Jesus. There is no other way.
