If my good friend Dr. Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch. It's normal. It's normal.

It's important if you can do good with power. And Jesus defined power, true power is to serve, to do service, to do the most humble services, and I must still make progress on this path of service because I feel that I don't do everything I should do. That's the sense I have of power.

We are all sinners. We are called to a conversion of heart

Christ comes among us at Christmas: it is the perfect time for a personal encounter with the Lord.

We pray for the many brothers and sisters who seek refuge far from their native lands, who seek a home where they can live without fear: that they might always be respected in their dignity.

I don't know if I had success or not. But I am afraid of myself. Why am I afraid of myself? I always feel - I don't know - weak in the sense of not having power and also power is a fleeting thing, here today, gone tomorrow.

Before I give you a blessing, I ask you for a favor: I want you to bless me.
