In your school you take part in various activities that habituate you not to shut yourselves in on yourselves or in your small world, but to be open to others, especially to the poorest and neediest, to work to improve the world in which we live. Be men and women with others and for others, real champions in the service of others. To be magnanimous with interior liberty and a spirit of service, spiritual formation is necessary. Dear children, dear youths, love Jesus Christ ever more!

Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.

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

If we take the poor away from the Gospel, we won't be able to understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.

A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.

If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord and has good will, then who am I to judge him?... No one should marginalize these people for this, they must be integrated into society.

Take care of brothers and sisters who are weaker ... the elderly, the sick, the hungry, the homeless and strangers, because we will be judged on this.
