On a positive note, we must reaffirm the right of children to grow up in a family with a father and a mother capable of creating a suitable environment for the child’s development and emotional maturity.

Be the first to seek to bring good, do not grow accustomed to evil, but defeat it.

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

Peace is always possible but we have to seek it. Let us pray for peace.

In God’s great plan, every detail is important, even yours, even my humble little witness, even the hidden witness of those who live their faith with simplicity in everyday family relationships, work relationships, friendships. There are the saints of every day, the “hidden” saints, a sort of “middle class of holiness” to which we can all belong.

The Christian who does not feel that the Virgin Mary is his or her mother is an orphan.

The climate is a common good, belonging to all and meant for all.
