The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better.

Sometimes we are tempted to find excuses and complain, acting as if we could only be happy if a thousand conditions were met...I can say that the most beautiful and natural expressions of joy which I have seen in my life were in poor people who had little to hold on to.

This concern for the poor is in the Gospel, it is within the tradition of the Church, it is not an invention of communism and it must not be turned into an ideology, as has sometimes happened before in the course of history.

The tyranny of relativism is the spiritual poverty of our time

Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.

Let Jesus preach to you, and and let Jesus heal you. We are all wounded. Everyone.

There are no part-time Christians.
