Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.

The great challenge facing us today is to learn once again how to talk to one another, not simply how to generate and consume information.

Reject every form of corruption.

Love makes us similar, it creates equality, it breaks down walls and eliminates distances. God did this with us.

Before all else, the Gospel invites us to respond to the God of love who saves us, to see God in others and to go forth from ourselves to seek the good of others.

The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but the Pope has the duty, in Christ's name, to remind the rich to help the poor, to respect them, to promote them.

Now, at the end of my visit to the Philippines, I commend you to Him, to Jesus who came among us as a child. May He enable all the beloved people of this country to work together, protecting one another, beginning with your families and communities, in building a world of justice, integrity and peace.
