Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.

But please know, Jesus never lets you down. Please know that the love and tenderness of Mother Mary never lets you down. And holding on to her mantle and with the power that comes from Jesus love on the cross, let us move forward, always forward, and walk together as brothers and sisters in the Lord forward.

[Joseph Ratzinger] is a man who as the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had everything in his hands. He conducted all the investigations, and went on, went on, went on, until he couldn't go any further in the execution.

Sin, also for those who don't have faith, exists when one goes against one's conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.

I don’t know if it is all (man’s fault) but the majority is, for the most part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature.

I thank all missionaries, men and women who quietly work hard for the Lord and their brothers and sisters.
