Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she bears witness to God’s love. Be missionaries of God’s tenderness!

When everything falls apart, only one thing sustains our hope: God loves us, he loves everyone!

Today, we need a Church capable of walking at people's side, of doing more than simply listening to them.... At times we lose people because they don't understand what we are saying, because we have forgotten the language of simplicity and import an intellectualism foreign to our people.... We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, when so many people are waiting for the Gospel.

Sometimes we are saddened by the weight of our sins. May we not be discouraged. Christ has come to lift this burden and give us peace.

Christianity spreads through the joy of disciples who know that they are loved and saved.

Be men and women with others and for others: true champions at the service of others.

You may be poor yourselves in material ways, but you have an abundance of gifts to offer when you offer Christ and the community of his Church.
