In this Year of Faith, let us remember that faith is not something we possess, but something we share. Every Christian is an apostle.

Do not forget this: the Lord never wearies of forgiving! We are the ones who weary of asking for forgiveness.

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

The annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation will offer individual believers and communities a fitting opportunity to reaffirm their personal vocation to be stewards of creation, to thank God for the wonderful handiwork which he has entrusted to our care, and to implore his help for the protection of creation, as well as his pardon for the sins committed against the world in which we live.

God always forgives, always. But he asks that I forgive. If I don't forgive, in a certain sense I am closing the door to God's forgiveness.

On climate change, there is a clear, definitive and ineluctable ethical imperative to act.

A Christian who does not protect Creation, who does not let it grow, is a Christian who does not care about the work of God, that work that was born from the love of God for us. And this is the first response to the first creation: protect creation, make it grow.
