Accept the risen Jesus into your life. Even if you have been far away, take a small step towards Him. He awaits you with open arms.

Trust in the power of Christ’s Cross! Receive his reconciling grace and share it!

Let us pause before the Child of Bethlehem. Let us allow our hearts to be touched, let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of God; we need his caress. God is full of love: to him be praise and glory forever! God is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world. Let us allow ourselves to be moved by God's goodness.

In the roughest moments, remember: God is our Father; God does not abandon his children.

We cannot take a step in our Christian life without the help of the Lord, because we are weak.

May the God of peace arouse in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.

Not only would I say that the family is important for the evangelization of the new world. The family is important, and it is necessary for the survival of humanity. Without the family, the cultural survival of the human race would be at risk. The family, whether we like it or not, is the foundation.
