The challenge of life is to learn how to love

In the Western Church to which I belong, priests cannot be married as in the Byzantine, Ukrainian, Russian or Greek Catholic Churches. In those Churches, the priests can be married, but the bishops have to be celibate. They are very good priests.

Dearest brothers and sisters who are so persecuted, I know how much you suffer, I know that you are stripped of everything. I am with you in the faith of the one who has conquered evil!

Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.

Human self-understanding changes with time, and so also human consciousness deepens.

Sometimes tears are the glasses that we need to see Jesus.

Religious life ought to promote growth in the Church by way of attraction. The Church must be attractive. Wake up the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living! It is possible to live differently in this world.
