Every man, every woman who has to take up the service of government, must ask themselves two questions: โDo I love my people in order to serve them better? Am I humble and do I listen to everybody, to diverse opinions in order to choose the best path.โ If you donโt ask those questions, your governance will not be good.
Pope FrancisIn effect, a selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and the disadvantaged.
Pope FrancisThe Lord is knocking at the door of our hearts. Have we put a sign on the door saying: 'Do not disturb'?
Pope FrancisJesus wanted to show us his heart as the heart that loved so deeply. For this reason we have this commemoration today, especially of God's love. God loved us, he loved us with such great love. I am thinking of what St Ignatius told us.... He pointed out two criteria on love. The first: love is expressed more clearly in actions than in words. The second: there is greater love in giving than in receiving.
