Christians are those who let God clothe them with goodness and mercy, with Christ, so as to become, like Christ, servants of God and others.

Advent is a journey towards Bethlehem. May we let ourselves be drawn by the light of God made man.

May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.

We cannot be Christians part-time. If Christ is at the center of our lives, he is present in all that we do.

May we always care for our children, not counting the cost, so that they may never believe themselves to be mistakes, but always know their infinite worth.

There is the tendency to place ourselves and our ambitions at the center of our lives. This is very human, but it is not Christian.

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