Let us remember Paul VI's words: "For the Catholic Church, no one is a stranger, no one is excluded, no one is far away" (Homily for the closing of the Second Vatican Council, 8 December 1965). Indeed, we are a single human family that is journeying on toward unity, making the most of solidarity and dialogue among peoples in the multiplicity of differences.

The cry of a baby is God's voice: never drive them away from the church!

Holy Week is a good occasion to go to confession and to take up the right path again.

Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction.

May each family rediscover family prayer, which helps to bring about mutual understanding and forgiveness.

Let us allow God to fill our hearts with his goodness and mercy.

Ask Jesus what he wants from you and be brave!
