Saints are people who belong fully to God. They are not afraid of being mocked, misunderstood or marginalized.

Life rejuvenates and acquires energy when it multiplies: It is enriched, not impoverished.

May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.

Are you angry with someone? Pray for that person. That is what Christian love is.
