Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.

How often we forget to dedicate ourselves to that which truly matters! We forget that we are children of God.

...when food is shared in a fair way, with solidarity, when no one is deprived, every community can meet the needs of the poorest. Human ecology and environmental ecology walk together.

In this Year of Faith, we pray to the Lord that the Church may always be a true family that brings God’s love to everyone.

Dear parents, have great patience, and forgive from the depths of your heart.

The search for God means having the courage to set out on a risky path, it means following our restless hearts.

There is another important point: encountering the poor. If we step outside ourselves we find poverty. Today-it sickens the heart to say so-the discovery of a tramp who has died of the cold is not news. Today what counts as news is, maybe, a scandal. A scandal: ah, that is news! Today, the thought that a great many children do not have food to eat is not news. This is serious, this is serious! We cannot put up with this! Yet that is how things are. We cannot become starched Christians, those over-educated Christians who speak of theological matters as they calmly sip their tea.
