The Saints were not superhuman. They were people who loved God in their hearts, and who shared this joy with others.

In a family it is normal to take charge of those who need help. Do not be afraid of frailty!

To imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place.

It’s like in soccer: you have to deal with the penalties where they fall; you can’t choose where they’re going to land. Life is like that, and you have to deal with it even if you don’t like it.

The fight against evil is long and difficult. It is essential to pray constantly and to be patient.

Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself. So protect your families! See in them your country’s greatest treasure and nourish them always by prayer and the grace of the sacraments.

Jesus tells us what the 'protocol' is, on which we will be judged. It is the one we read in chapter 25 of Matthew's Gospel: I was hungry, I was thirsty, I was in prison, I was sick, I was naked and you helped me, clothed me, visited me, took care of me. Whenever we do this to one of our brothers, we do this to Jesus. Caring for our neighbor; for those who are poor, who suffer in body and in soul, for those who are in need. This is the touchstone.
