In the poor and outcast we see Christ’s face; by loving and helping the poor, we love and serve Christ.

Just as the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills. How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?

Pastors must welcome the lost sheep. Actually, I made a mistake. I said welcome, rather, go out and find them.

Let us always pray for one another.

The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you.

If we live according to the law "an eye for an eye...," we will never escape from the spiral of evil.

In the difficult moments of life, Christians can turn to the Mother of God and find protection and care.
