To love God and neighbor is not something abstract, but profoundly concrete: it means seeing in every person and face of the Lord to be served, to serve him concretely. And you are, dear brothers and sisters, in the face of Jesus.

Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.

In a family it is normal to take charge of those who need help. Do not be afraid of frailty!

Wherever there are men and women who have consecrated their lives to God, there you find joy.

Let us allow God to fill our hearts with his goodness and mercy.

Move forward and let others do the same. Simple. This is a guiding principle everyone should have.

Proceed calmly in life.
