We learn many virtues in our Christian families. Above all, we learn to love, asking nothing in return.

Terrorism grows when there are no other options, and when the center of the global economy is the god of money and not the person - men and women - this is already the first terrorism!

Being a Christian means renouncing ourselves, taking up the cross and carrying it with Jesus. There is no other way.

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

The real power is love, that which empowers others, that which arouses action, that which no chain is able to hold back, for even on the Cross or on the death bed one is able to love. One does not need youthful beauty, nor recognition or approval, nor money or prestige. Let love simply bloom...and it is unstoppable.

We cannot be tepid disciples. The Church needs our courage in order to give witness to truth.

Jesus is more than a friend. He is a teacher of truth and life who shows us the way that leads to happiness.
