The Cross is the Word through which God has responded to evil in the world.

Let us leave a spare place at our table: a place for those who lack the basics, who are alone.

In your school you take part in various activities that habituate you not to shut yourselves in on yourselves or in your small world, but to be open to others, especially to the poorest and neediest, to work to improve the world in which we live. Be men and women with others and for others, real champions in the service of others. To be magnanimous with interior liberty and a spirit of service, spiritual formation is necessary. Dear children, dear youths, love Jesus Christ ever more!

To love God and neighbor is not something abstract, but profoundly concrete: it means seeing in every person and face of the Lord to be served, to serve him concretely. And you are, dear brothers and sisters, in the face of Jesus.

How many Christians live for appearances? Their life seems like a soap bubble. The soap bubble is beautiful, with all its colours! But it lasts only a second, and then what?

Jesus is more than a friend. He is a teacher of truth and life who shows us the way that leads to happiness.

Support your priests with your love and prayers, that they may always be shepherds after Christ’s heart
