To be prophets, in particular, by demonstrating how Jesus lived on this earth, and to proclaim how the kingdom of God will be in its perfection. A religious must never give up prophesising Let us think about what so many great saints, monks and religious men and women have done, from St Anthony the Abbot onward. Being prophets may sometimes involve making ruido [Spanish for noise]. I do not know how to put it Prophecy makes noise, uproar, some say 'a mess.' But in reality, the charism of religious people is like yeast: prophecy announces the spirit of the Gospel.

Let us never give in to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day. Do not give in to pessimism and discouragement.

Children have a right to grow up in a family with a father and a mother.

The Internet offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God.

Let the Church always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven.

Faith is professed with the lips and with the heart, through words & through love.
