One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith.

The Corrupt should be tied to a rock & thrown into the sea

Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.

Now, at the end of my visit to the Philippines, I commend you to Him, to Jesus who came among us as a child. May He enable all the beloved people of this country to work together, protecting one another, beginning with your families and communities, in building a world of justice, integrity and peace.

Work is fundamental to the dignity of the person. Work, to use an image, 'anoints' with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God who has worked and still works, who always acts.

Jesus teaches us to put the needs of the poor ahead of our own, our needs, even if legitimate, will never be so urgent as those of the poor, who lack the necessities of life.

I wish everyone a wonderful World Cup, played in a spirit of true fraternity.
