In this Year of Faith, we pray to the Lord that the Church may always be a true family that brings God’s love to everyone.

Let us always pray for one another.

The blood of our Christian brothers and sisters is a testimony which cries out to be heard by everyone who can still distinguish between good and evil.

Only those who serve with love are able to protect!

The key phrase used by the synod, which I'll take up again, is 'integrate' in the life of the Church the wounded families, remarried families, etc. But of this one mustn't forget the children in the middle. They are the first victims, both in the wounds, and in the conditions of poverty, of work.

Trust in the power of Christ’s Cross! Receive his reconciling grace and share it!

There is no worse material poverty, I am keen to stress, than the poverty which prevents people from earning their bread and deprives them of the dignity of work.
