Do I guard myself, my heart, my feelings, my thoughts? Do I guard the treasure of grace? Do I guard the presence of the Holy Spirit in me? Or do I let go, feeling secure, believing that all is going well?

Lord, help us to recognize you in the sick, poor and suffering.

To all of you, I repeat: Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope! Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope! And not only that, but I say to us all: let us not rob others of hope, let us become bearers of hope!

We are all sinners. We are called to a conversion of heart

We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.

Leaders of the Church have often been Narcissus, flattered and sickeningly excited by their courtiers. The court is the leprosy of the papacy.

Today too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others.
