I believe that in pretty much every religion there is always a small group of fundamentalists.

You cannot be a conscious Christian without St. Paul. He translated the teachings of Christ into a doctrinal structure that, even with the additions of a vast number of thinkers, theologians and pastors, has resisted and still exists after two thousand years.

The teachings of the Gospel have direct consequences for our way of thinking, feeling and living.

As the son of an immigrant family, I am happy to be a guest in U.S, which was largely built by such families.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

Indifference to our neighbour and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience.

May we try to listen and be silent in order to make space for the beauty of God.
