Tell me, when you give alms do you look into the eyes of the man or woman to whom you give alms? . . . And when you give alms, do you touch the hand of the one to whom you give alms, or do you toss the coin?

When we meet a person truly in need, do we see the face of God?

Every time we give in to selfishness and say “No” to God, we spoil his loving plan for us.

Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility.

Sometimes it is possible to live without knowing our neighbours: this is not Christian

It is normal for husband and wife to argue: it's normal. It always happens. But my advice is this: never let the day end without having first made peace. Never!

If there is no humility, love remains blocked.
