In the difficult moments of life, Christians can turn to the Mother of God and find protection and care.

Our world needs good and strong families.

We must avoid the spiritual disease of the Church that can become self-referential: when this happens, the Church itself becomes sick. It’s true that accidents can happen when you go out into the street, as can happen to any man or woman. But if the Church remains closed onto itself, self-referential, it grows old. Between a Church that goes into the street and gets into an accident and a Church that is sick with self-referentiality, I have no doubts in preferring the first.

An authentic faith always implies a deep desire to change the world.

I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!

You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups.

We are all called to be friends with Jesus. Don’t be afraid to love the Lord.
