It's best to not confuse optimism with hope. Optimism is a psychological attitude toward life. Hope goes further. It is an anchor that one hurls toward the future, it's what lets you pull on the line and reach what you're aiming for and head in the right direction. Hope is also theological: God is there, too.

I think that even the Mexican society is a victim of all of this, of these crimes of "cleaning" people, of discarding people.

The scourge of drug trafficking, that favors violence and sows the seeds of suffering and death, requires of society as a whole an act of courage.

I believe in the kindness of others, and that I must love them without fear.

We must always walk in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, always trying to live in an irreprehensible way.

We just cannot worry about ourselves.

Dear young friends, learn to pray every day: this is the way to know Jesus and invite him into your lives.
