There is another form of poverty! It is the spiritual poverty of our time, which afflicts the so-called richer countries particularly seriously.

I invite [journalists] to seriously study the facts of Guadalupe. The Madonna is there. I cannot find another explanation.

The whole of salvation history is the story of God looking for us: he offers us love and welcomes us with tenderness.

The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but the Pope has the duty, in Christ's name, to remind the rich to help the poor, to respect them, to promote them.

None of us can think we are exempt from concerns for the poor and for social justice.

God always has patience.

God never closes off horizons; He is never unconcerned about the lives and sufferings of His children. God never allows Himself to be outdone in generosity.
