To change the world we must be good to those who cannot repay us.

So let us ask ourselves this evening, in adoring Christ who is really present in the Eucharist: do I let myself be transformed by him? Do I let the Lord who gives himself to me, guide me to going out ever more from my little enclosure, in order to give, to share, to love him and others? Brothers and sisters, following, communion, sharing. Let us pray that participation in the Eucharist may always be an incentive: to follow the Lord every day, to be instruments of communion and to share what we are with him and with our neighbour. Our life will then be truly fruitful.

The first setting in which faith enlightens the human city is the family.

Do not forget this: the Lord never wearies of forgiving! We are the ones who weary of asking for forgiveness.

There are the saints of every day, the 'hidden' saints, a sort of 'middle class of holiness'... to which we can all belong.

Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey.

I love it when people can actually engage with the materials of the sacrament in advance.
