The love of Christ fills our hearts and makes us always able to forgive!

We need to see each child as a gift to be welcomed, cherished, and protected.

Where there is truth, there is also light, but don't confuse light with the flash.

How does St. Joseph exercise his role as protector? Discreetly, humbly and silently, but with an unfailing presence and utter fidelity, even when he finds it hard to understand.

He looked beyond. He looked to the peoples of the Earth and saw the destruction of the family because of the lack of children. Paul VI was courageous. He was a good pastor. He warned his sheep about the wolves that were approaching, and from the heavens he blesses us today.

Let's pray for whole world that there be brotherhood. I hope this journey of the church we begin today is fruitful for evangelization.

Children are to be welcomed, cherished, protected.
