There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.

As your captain, I'm going to push you to not fall back on defense, but to play offense, and to play our match -- the Gospel, together.

You can't govern without loving the people and without humility!

Dear young people, put your talents at the service of the Gospel, with creativity and boundless charity.

There's only a very small representation of girls among you. Too little. Women have much to tell us in today’s society. Sometimes we are too machistas and we don't allow enough space to women. But women can see things from a different angle to us, with a different eye. Women are able to pose questions we men are unable to understand. Look out for this fact: she is the only one who has put a question for which there is no answer. She couldn't put it into words but expressed it with tears.

Peace is always possible but we have to seek it. Let us pray for peace.

All political activity must serve and promote the good of the human person and be based on respect for his or her dignity.
