As Christians, we have an additional reason to love and serve the poor; for in them we see the face and the flesh of Christ, who made himself poor so to enrich us with his poverty.

Do I pray that the Lord gives me the desire to do his will, or do I look for compromises because I'm afraid of God's will?

The crucifix does not signify defeat or failure. It reveals to us the Love that overcomes evil and sin.

I tell priests to flee from clericalism because clericalism distances people. May they flee from clericalism and I add: it's a plague in the Church.
