I cannot imagine a Christian who does not know how to smile. May we joyfully witness to our faith.

We cannot trust in our own strength, but only in Jesus and in his mercy.

This is what marriage is all about - Man and woman walking together, wherein the husband helps his wife to become ever more a woman, and wherein the woman has the task of helping her husband to become ever more a man.

"God is love". His is not a sentimental, emotional kind of love but the love of the Father who is the origin of all life, the love of the Son who dies on the Cross and is raised, the love of the Spirit who renews human beings and the world. Thinking that God is love does us so much good, because it teaches us to love, to give ourselves to others as Jesus gave himself to us and walks with us. Jesus walks beside us on the road through life.

A Christian brings peace to others. Not only peace, but also love, kindness, faithfulness and joy.

Jesus is more than a friend. He is a teacher of truth and life who shows us the way that leads to happiness.

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.
