Let us seek to live in a way that is always worthy of our Christian vocation

Fathers are so necessary as examples and guides for our children in wisdom and virtue. Without father figures, young people often feel orphaned; left adrift at a critical moment in their growth and development.

Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up.

Let us keep the flame of faith alive through prayer and the sacraments: let us make sure we do not forget God.

When the Lord wants to give us a mission, wants to give us a task, He prepares us. He prepares us to do it well...What is important is the whole journey by which we arrive at the mission the Lord entrusts to us...when the Lord gives a mission, He always has us enter into a process, a process of purification, a process of discernment, a process of obedience, a process of prayer.

Things have a price and can be for sale. But people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things.

Politics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!
