I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.

The key that opens the door to the faith is prayer.

We forget to remain focused on the things that really matter.

We have begun a throw away culture. This tendency is seen on the level of individuals and whole societies; and it is being promoted! In circumstances like these, solidarity, which is the treasure of the poor, is often considered counterproductive, opposed to the logic of finance and the economy. While the income of a minority is increasing exponentially, that of the majority is crumbling.

Among our tasks as witnesses to the love of Christ is that of giving a voice to the cry of the poor.

We are far from the so called 'end of history,' since the conditions for a sustainable and peaceful development have not yet been adequately articulated and realized.

Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
