Certain realities of life we only see through eyes cleansed by our tears.

Every conflict is emblematic of the throwaway culture.

There is never a reason to lose hope. Jesus says: “I am with you until the end of the world.

Racism today is the ultimate evil in the world

There is another temptation which we must especially guard against: the simplistic reductionism which sees only good or evil; or, if you will, the righteous and sinners. The contemporary world, with its open wounds which affect so many of our brothers and sisters, demands that we confront every form of polarization which would divide it into these two camps.

If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good.

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