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.

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

Jesus wanted to show us his heart as the heart that loved so deeply. For this reason we have this commemoration today, especially of God's love. God loved us, he loved us with such great love. I am thinking of what St Ignatius told us.... He pointed out two criteria on love. The first: love is expressed more clearly in actions than in words. The second: there is greater love in giving than in receiving.

Listen to Jesus and follow him. That's the message of the Transfiguration.

The vocation of being a 'protector' [. . .] means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as Saint Francis of Assisi showed us [. . .] In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts!

The only war that we must all fight is the one against evil.

A fundamental role in the renewal of society is played, of course, by the family and especially by young people.
