The Lord speaks to us through the Scriptures and in our prayer. Let us learn to keep silence before him, as we meditate upon the Gospel.

The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth. In many parts of the planet, the elderly lament that once beautiful landscapes are now covered with rubbish.

Francis of Assisi tells us we should work to build peace. But there is no true peace without truth! There cannot be true peace if everyone is his own criterion, if everyone can always claim exclusively his own rights, without at the same time caring for the good of others, of everyone, on the basis of the nature that unites every human being on this earth.

Those called to the service of governance in the church need to have a strong sense of justice, so that any form of injustice becomes unacceptable.

We cannot take a step in our Christian life without the help of the Lord, because we are weak.

It is through an unbroken chain of witnesses that we come to see the face of Jesus.

The only war that we must all fight is the one against evil.
