The Pope is a man. The Pope needs the input of women, too. And the Pope, too, has a heart that can have a healthy, holy friendship with a woman.

Let Jesus preach to you, and and let Jesus heal you. We are all wounded. Everyone.

In a world often marked by selfishness, a large family is a school of solidarity and sharing; and this attitude is to the benefit of society as a whole.... I always thank the Lord in seeing mothers and fathers of large families, together with their children, committed to the life of the Church and of society.

Have the courage to go against the tide of current values that do not conform to the path of Jesus.

The search for God means having the courage to set out on a risky path, it means following our restless hearts.
