Jesus is God but he humbled himself to walk with us. He is our friend, our brother.

Lord, teach us to step outside ourselves. Teach us to go out into the streets and manifest your love.

In the roughest moments, remember: God is our Father; God does not abandon his children.

In a world often marked by selfishness, a large family is a school of solidarity and sharing; and this attitude is to the benefit of society as a whole.... I always thank the Lord in seeing mothers and fathers of large families, together with their children, committed to the life of the Church and of society.

Profound peace, spiritual consolation, love of God and love of all things in God - this is the sign that you are on this right path.

In the Western Church to which I belong, priests cannot be married as in the Byzantine, Ukrainian, Russian or Greek Catholic Churches. In those Churches, the priests can be married, but the bishops have to be celibate. They are very good priests.

I love it when people can actually engage with the materials of the sacrament in advance.
