A society which abandons children and the elderly severs its roots and darkens its future.

Christ is always faithful. Let us pray to be always faithful to him.

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.

It makes no difference whether they be Catholics, Orthodox, Copts or Protestants. They are Christians! Their blood is one and the same. Their blood confesses Christ.

Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.

I try to lead a life where I don't have to ask God for forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not a result of our efforts, but is a gift. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit who showers us with mercy and grace that pours forth unceasingly from the open heart of Christ crucified and risen.
