And does not true freedom mean choosing ways in this world that lead to the good of all and are guided by love?

We cannot become starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea. We have to become courageous Christians and seek out those (who need help most).

Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God.

I think with great affection and deep gratitude of my venerable predecessor, Benedict XVI, who during these years of his pontificate has enriched and strengthened the Church with his teaching, his goodness, his guidance, his faith, his humility, and his gentleness, which will remain a spiritual heritage for all.

May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

Take care of brothers and sisters who are weaker ... the elderly, the sick, the hungry, the homeless and strangers, because we will be judged on this.
