Humility saves man: pride makes him lose his way.

The Church of Rome, the Pope has always said, 'Seek peace.'

We don't have to expect everything from those who govern us; that would be juvenile.

If a person has done wrong, is conscious of what he has done and does not say sorry, I ask God to take him into account. I forgive him, but he does not receive that forgiveness, he is closed to forgiveness. We must forgive, because we were all forgiven. It is another thing to receive that forgiveness.

Our mission as Christians is to conform ourselves evermore to Jesus as the model of our lives.

May the power of Christ, which brings freedom and service, be felt in so many hearts afflicted by war, persecution and slavery.

Lord, with so much violence in Iraq, may we persevere in our prayer and generosity.
