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

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.

Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she bears witness to God’s love. Be missionaries of God’s tenderness!

I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.

Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.

Dear parents, have great patience, and forgive from the depths of your heart.

Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
