I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!

To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love is to open up a horizon of hope.

Evolution in nature is not opposed to the notion of Creation, because evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve.

We ask the risen Jesus, who turns death into life, to change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace. Yes, Christ is our peace, and through him to implore peace for all the world.

We must not let ourselves fall into the vortex of pessimism. Faith can move mountains!

Working for a just distribution of the fruits of the earth and human labor is not mere philanthropy. It is a moral obligation.

May the World Day of Consecrated Life be a timely occasion to rediscover the centrality of Jesus in our lives.
