I extend my appreciation to the associations, movements and all those who defend human life.

God loves the lowly. When we live humbly, he takes our small efforts and creates great things.

No one is saved alone, as an isolated individual, but God attracts us looking at the complex web of relationships that take place in the human community. God enters into this dynamic, this participation in the web of human relationships.

Jesus fought Satan in 'hand to hand combat' . . . 'you need to protect this victory.'

The worldwide financial and economic crisis seems to highlight their distortions and above all the gravely deficient human perspective, which reduces man to one of his needs alone, namely, consumption. Worse yet, human beings themselves are nowadays considered as consumer goods which can be used and thrown away.

May we learn to say “thank you” to God and to one another. We teach children to do it, and then we forget to do it ourselves!

Inequality is the root of social evil.
