During my visit to the Philippines, I wanted in a particular way to meet with young people, to listen to you and to talk to you. I want to express the love and the hopes of the Church for you. And I want to encourage you as Christian citizens of this country to offer yourselves passionately and honestly to the great work of renewing your society and helping to build a better world.

The Holy Spirit helps us to view others with fresh eyes, seeing them always as brothers and sisters in Jesus, to be respected and loved.

May all people here find inspiration and strength to build a future of reconciliation, justice and peace for all the children of this beloved land.

The Church is a mother, not an entrepreneur.

I'd say I dream in Esperanto. Sometimes I remember some dreams in another language, but dreaming in languages no, but figures yes, my psychology is this way.

Lord, help us to live the virtue of generosity, to love without limits.

It does not render justice to the victims, but rather fosters vengeance.
