Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.

When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.

Mary’s life shows that God accomplishes great deeds through those who are the most humble.

Each person, and every people hungers and thirsts for peace; therefore, it is necessary and urgent to build peace!

I want to say one word to you and this word is “Joy”. Wherever there are consecrated people, seminarians, men and women religious, young people, there is joy, there is always joy!

Let's not forget that God never gets tired of forgiving so let's never get tired of asking for forgiveness.

Violence and war lead only to death.
