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

As long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world’s problems or, for that matter, to any problems.

Jesus is the one who brings God to us and us to God.

The love of God is not something vague or generic; the love of God has a name and a face: Jesus Christ.

Charity that does not change the situation of the poor isn't enough.

You can have large projects and implement them by means of a few of the smallest things. Or you can use weak means that are more effective than strong ones, as Paul also said in his First Letter to the Corinthians. [...] The wisdom of discernment redeems the necessary ambiguity of life and helps us find the most appropriate means, which do not always coincide with what looks great and strong.

The Gospel, radiant with the glory of Christ’s cross, constantly invites us to rejoice.
