From the way children are treated society can be judged.

Let us never forget that it is the Lord who guides the Church. He is the one who makes our apostolates fruitful.

We cannot be Christians part-time. If Christ is at the center of our lives, he is present in all that we do.

There are saints in the Roman Curia, among the cardinals, priests, religious, sisters and laity. They work hard, and also do things that are often hidden. I know some who concern themselves with feeding the poor or who give up their free time to work in a parish. As always, the ones who aren't saints make the most noise ... a single tree falling makes a sound, but a whole forest growing doesn't.

We must not be afraid of solidarity; rather let us make all we have and are available to God.
