Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is Good.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

May both of them [Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II] teach us not to be scandalized by the wounds of Christ and to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of divine mercy, which always hopes and always forgives, because it always loves.

Holiness doesn't mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith.

Humanity needs to see these gestures of peace and to hear words of hope and peace!

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.

My people are poor and I am one of them.
