We must learn from Mary, and we must imitate her unconditional readiness to receive Christ in her life.

We cannot be tepid disciples. The Church needs our courage in order to give witness to truth.

Cars are necessary, but take a more humble one. Think of how many children die of hunger and dedicate the savings to them.

God’s faithfulness is stronger than our unfaithfulness and our infidelities.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

When families bring children into the world, train them in faith and sound values, and teach them to contribute to society, they become a blessing in our world.

It is also painful to see that the struggle against hunger and malnutrition is hindered by market priorities, the primacy of profit, which have reduced foodstuffs to a commodity like any other, subject to speculation, also of a financial nature, The hungry remain, at the street corner, and ask to be recognized as citizens, to receive a healthy diet. We ask for dignity, not for charity.
