The Gospel teaches us what Jesus' kingdom requires of us... Reminds us that closeness and tenderness are the rules of life.

I like this idea of the re-foundation of the European Union, maybe it can be done, because Europe - I do not say is unique, but it has a force, a culture, a history that cannot be wasted, and we must do everything so that the European Union has the strength and also the inspiration to make it go forward. That's what I think.

We all have in our hearts some areas of unbelief. Let us say to the Lord: I believe! Help my unbelief.

Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.

We are all jars of clay, fragile and poor, yet we carry within us an immense treasure.

Man has slapped nature in the face. If you slap it, it will slap you back.

At times we are slaves of sin. Lord, come to free us!
