It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good.

Say no to an ephemeral, superficial and throwaway culture, a culture that assumes that you are incapable of taking on responsibility and facing the great challenges of life!

Business is a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving the world. It can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the area in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good. This common good also includes the earth... the environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all.

Profound peace, spiritual consolation, love of God and love of all things in God - this is the sign that you are on this right path.

The proclamation of the saving love of God comes before moral and religious imperatives. Today sometimes it seems that the opposite order is prevailing.

We cannot give up in the face of evil. God is Love and he has defeated evil through Christ’s death and resurrection.

Every conflict is emblematic of the throwaway culture.
