Let us draw from the crib the joy and deep peace that Jesus comes to bring to the world.

I think of the difficulties which, in various countries, today afflicts the world of work and business; I think of how many, and not just young people, are unemployed, many times due to a purely economic conception of society, which seeks selfish profit, beyond the parameters of social justice.

Jesus speaks in the silence of the mystery of the Eucharist and reminds us each time that following him means going out of ourselves and making our lives not something we 'possess,' but a gift to him and to others.

Let love simply bloom... and it is unstoppable.

Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary enthusiasm!

The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!

Dear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith; the Lord will not abandon you!
