The Christian family is missionary: it announces the love of God to the world.

The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you.

Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.

It is my hope that inter-religious and ecumenical cooperation will demonstrate that men and women do not have to forsake their identity, whether ethnic or religious, in order to live in harmony with their brothers and sisters. If we are honest in presenting our convictions, we will be able to see more clearly what we hold in common.

As Christians, our duty is to pray for them and ask the Lord to give them the grace of penance, so that they don't die with a corrupt heart, because otherwise the dogs of hell will take their blood.

Have the courage to go against the tide of current values that do not conform to the path of Jesus.

Politics is noble; it is one of the highest forms of charity, as Paul VI used to say. We sully it when we mix it with business. The relationship between the Church and political power can also be corrupted if common good is not the only converging point.
