You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.

In the difficult moments of life, Christians can turn to the Mother of God and find protection and care.

God's word is unpredictable in its power... The Church has to accept this unruly freedom of the word, which accomplishes what it wills in ways that surpass our calculations and ways of thinking.

Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God.

The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.

When we are generous in welcoming people and sharing something with them-some food, a place in our homes, our time-not only do we no longer remain poor: we are enriched. I am well aware that when someone needing food knocks at your door, you always find a way of sharing food; as the proverb says, one can always 'add more water to the beans'! Is it possible to add more water to the beans?...Always?...And you do so with love, demonstrating that true riches consist not in materials things, but in the heart!
