No elderly person should be like an “exile” in our families. The elderly are a treasure for our society.

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

In this Year of Faith, let us remember that faith is not something we possess, but something we share. Every Christian is an apostle.

Confirmation strengthens us to defend the faith and to spread the Gospel courageously

I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.

An authentic faith-which is never comfortable or completely personal-always involves a deep desire to change the world, to transmit values, to leave this earth somehow better than we found it.

If a person has done wrong, is conscious of what he has done and does not say sorry, I ask God to take him into account. I forgive him, but he does not receive that forgiveness, he is closed to forgiveness. We must forgive, because we were all forgiven. It is another thing to receive that forgiveness.
