Do I take the Gospel message of reconciliation and love into the places where I live and work?

Religious fundamentalism, even before it eliminates human beings by perpetrating horrendous killings, eliminates God himself, turning him into a mere ideological pretext.

Support your priests with your love and prayers, that they may always be shepherds after Christ’s heart

Your sins are great? Just tell the Lord: Forgive me, help me to get up again, change my heart!

Press on! Don't let yourselves be robbed of hope. Understood?

Not so much anymore but some years ago in my homeland there was a habit, something called 'casamiento de apuro,' a marriage in haste because the baby is coming and to cover socially the honor of the family. There, they weren't free and it happened many times this marriage is null. As a bishop I forbade my priests to do this.

A fundamental role in the renewal of society is played, of course, by the family and especially by young people.
