Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.

Children are victims of a social problem that wounds the family.

The poor is the center of the Gospel. If we take out the poor, we cannot understand the message of Christ

If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself.

I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.

We cannot trust in our own strength, but only in Jesus and in his mercy.
