To all people of good will who are working for social justice: never tire of working for a more just world, marked by greater solidarity!

Dear young people, listen within: Christ is knocking at the door of your heart.

When fundamentalism comes to kill, it can kill with the language - the Apostle James says this, not me - and even with a knife, no?

In a world like this, media can help us to feel closer to one another, creating a sense of unity of the human family which can in turn inspire solidarity and serious efforts to ensure a more dignified life for all.

Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God's creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.

Let us draw from the crib the joy and deep peace that Jesus comes to bring to the world.

Let us ask the Lord for this grace: that our hearts become free and filled with light, so that we can rejoice as children of God.
