We also must learn to listen more to our conscience. Be careful, however: this does not mean we ought to follow our ego, do whatever interests us, whatever suits us, whatever pleases us. That is not conscience.

Our deepest joy comes from Christ: remaining with him, walking with him, being his disciples.

We cannot be tepid disciples. The Church needs our courage in order to give witness to truth.

Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.

Missionaries never give up on their dream of peace, even when they experience difficulties and persecution, which makes their presence strongly felt today.

It is neither a culture of confrontation nor a culture of conflict which builds harmony within and between peoples, but rather a culture of encounter and a culture of dialogue; this is the only way to peace.

Do not be afraid to cast yourselves into the arms of God; whatever he asks of you, he will repay a hundredfold.
