Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey.

We can coexist well [with Muslims]. But there are fundamentalist groups.

Today too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others. 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; it is to let a shaft of light break through the heavy clouds; it is to bring the warmth of hope!

The rosary is spiritual medicine.

Unfortunately, what is thrown away is not only food and dispensable objects, but often human beings themselves, who are discarded as 'unnecessary.' For example, it is frightful even to think there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day; children being used as soldiers, abused and killed in armed conflicts; and children being bought and sold in that terrible form of modern slavery which is human trafficking, which is a crime against humanity.

Profound peace, spiritual consolation, love of God and love of all things in God - this is the sign that you are on this right path.

The Son of God became incarnate in the souls of men to instill the feeling of brotherhood. All are brothers and all children of God.
