You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works.

Let us never forget this, he is pure mercy, let us go to Jesus!

I want to remind priests that the confessional must not be a torture chamber but rather an encounter with the Lord’s mercy which spurs us on to do our best. A small step, in the midst of great human limitations, can be more pleasing to God than a life which appears outwardly in order but moves through the day without confronting great difficulties. Everyone needs to be touched by the comfort and attraction of God’s saving love, which is mysteriously at work in each person, above and beyond their faults and failings.

Today, the news is scandals, that is news, but the many children who don’t have food - that’s not news. This is grave. We can’t rest easy while things are this way.

If Jesus is to become the center of our life, we need to spend time in His presence, before the Tabernacle.

Jesus came to save us: let us not reject this marvelous gift!

The Sacraments are Jesus Christ’s presence in us. So it is important for us to go to Confession and receive Holy Communion.
