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

The life of a family is filled with beautiful moments: rest, meals together, walks in the park or the countryside, visits to grandparents or to a sick person... But if love is missing, joy is missing, nothing is fun. Jesus gives always gives us that love: he is its endless source. In the sacrament he gives us his word and he gives us the bread of life, so that our joy may be complete.

Our Christian witness is authentic when it is faithful and unconditional.

This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.

There is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity.

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

How often we forget to dedicate ourselves to that which truly matters! We forget that we are children of God.
