It is a mortal sin to discard the elderly.

Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.

One of the more serious temptations which stifles boldness and zeal is a defeatism, which turns us into querulous and disillusioned pessimists, sourpusses.

Humanity needs justice, peace and love and we can have this only by returning with our hearts towards God who is the source of all this.

Press on! Don't let yourselves be robbed of hope. Understood?

Let us leave a spare place at our table: a place for those who lack the basics, who are alone.

We can walk when we want to, we can build many things, but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ then it doesn't matter. We might become a philanthropic NGO but we wouldn't be the Church, the Bride of the Lord.
