The teachings of the Gospel have direct consequences for our way of thinking, feeling and living.

May no one use religion as a pretext for actions against human dignity and against the fundamental rights of every man and woman.

Each of us is a masterpiece of God's creation

Our world is facing a refugee crisis of a magnitude not seen since the Second World War. This presents us with great challenges and many hard decisions.

No one must say that they cannot be close to the poor because their own lifestyle demands more attention to other areas. This is an excuse commonly heard in academic, business or professional, and even ecclesial circles.

There is no cross, big or small, in our life which the Lord does not share with us.

Human self-understanding changes with time, and so also human consciousness deepens.
