More and more people work on Sundays as a consequence of the competitiveness imposed by a consumer society.

That which gives us true freedom and true happiness is the compassionate love of Christ.

Where there is calumny, there is Satan himself.

If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.

If we start without confidence, we have already lost half the battle and we bury our talents.

Do not forget, read a passage from the Gospel every day. It is the power that changes us, that transforms us, it changes life and it changes the heart.

May the World Day of Consecrated Life be a timely occasion to rediscover the centrality of Jesus in our lives.
