Jesus speaks in the silence of the mystery of the Eucharist and reminds us each time that following him means going out of ourselves and making our lives not something we 'possess,' but a gift to him and to others.

A Christian is one who is invited... to join in the feast, to the joy of being saved, to the joy of being redeemed, to the joy of sharing life with Christ. This is a joy! You are called to a party!

Ours is not a joy born of having many possessions, but of having encountered a person: Jesus in our midst.

The Holy Spirit, in the variety of his gifts, unites us and enables us to contribute to the building up of the Church in holiness. In this great work, each of us has a part to play; each of us, as a "living stone", is needed for the growth and the beauty of God's holy temple. Let us ask the Lord to help us to take an ever more active part in the Church's life and mission, guided by the Holy Spirit and with Jesus as our cornerstone.

Let us thank all those who teach in Catholic schools. Educating is an act of love; it is like giving life.

Don’t be afraid to ask God for forgiveness. He never tires of forgiving us. God is pure mercy.

A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.
