[Orthodox] are brothers, but I must respect them.

We are a church of sinners but we must not be afraid of holiness. Do not be afraid to aim for holiness and turn yourselves over to the love of God. Holiness does not mean performing extraordinary things but carrying out daily things in an extraordinary way that is with love, joy and faith.

Our Christian witness is authentic when it is faithful and unconditional.

Today is the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. Let us work and pray.

None of us can think we are exempt from concerns for the poor and for social justice.

We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, when so many people are waiting for the Gospel!

How powerful prayer is! May we never lose the courage to say: Lord, give us your peace.
