Division within a Christian community is a very grave sin; it is the work of the devil.

To live charitably means not looking out for our own interests, but carrying the burdens of the weakest and poorest among us.

You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works.

Let the Church always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven.

People in every nation enhance the social dimension of their lives by acting as committed and responsible citizens.

The key phrase used by the synod, which I'll take up again, is 'integrate' in the life of the Church the wounded families, remarried families, etc. But of this one mustn't forget the children in the middle. They are the first victims, both in the wounds, and in the conditions of poverty, of work.

To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love is to open up a horizon of hope.
