To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.

We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. BUt the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyses: 'I am talking with you in order to persuade you.' No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity. The church grows by attracting, not proselytizing.

Babies cry, make noise, go here and there. But it annoys me when a baby cries in church and there are those who say he needs to go out. The cry of a baby is God's voice: never drive them away from the church!

Being a Christian is not just about following commandments: it is about letting Christ take possession of our lives and transform them.

Let us not be satisfied with a mediocre life.

I think that even the Mexican society is a victim of all of this, of these crimes of "cleaning" people, of discarding people.

The Holy Spirit is a great worker, not a 'trade unionist.' He is a great worker, and He works in us, always. He does this work of explaining the mystery of Jesus, and of giving us this sense of Christ.
