I wish to extend an invitation to solidarity to everyone, and I would like to encourage those in public office to make every effort to give new impetus to employment, this means caring for the dignity of the person, but above all I would say do not lose hope.

To all people of good will who are working for social justice: never tire of working for a more just world, marked by greater solidarity!

I wish everyone a wonderful World Cup, played in a spirit of true fraternity.

We are living in a time of many wars. The call for peace must be shouted. Peace sometimes gives the impression of being quiet, but it is never quiet. Peace if always proactive and dynamic.

Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.

God’s faithfulness is stronger than our unfaithfulness and our infidelities.

We need courage if we are to be faithful to the Gospel.
