When a family loses its ability to dream, children don't grow, love doesn't grow and life loses strength, eventually it shuts off.

This is the mission of every Christian: lumina pandit - to spread the light and to tell the world of God's love.

I want the Church to go out onto the streets, I want us to resist everything worldly, everything static, everything comfortable...eve rything that might make us closed in on ourselves.

You cannot insult the faith of others.

If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.

God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.

In Confession, Jesus welcomes us with all our sinfulness, to give us a new heart, capable of loving as he loves.
