Advent increases our hope, a hope which does not disappoint. The Lord never lets us down.

To be an ambassador for Christ means to invite everyone to a personal encounter with Jesus

I'm overwhelmed by shame that the people who had the responsibility to take care of the tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain.

The Book of Genesis tells us that God created man and woman entrusting them with the task of filling the earth and subduing it, which does not mean exploiting it but nurturing and protecting it, caring for it through their work.

...we must also acknowledge that the majority of the men and women of our time continue to live daily in situations of insecurity, with dire consequences. Certain pathologies are increasing, with their psychological consequences; fear and desperation grip the hearts of many people, even in the so-called rich countries; the joy of life is diminishing; indecency and violence are on the rise; poverty is becoming more and more evident. People have to struggle to live and, frequently, to live in an undignified way.

True love does not pay attention to the evil it suffers. It rejoices in doing good.

I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth, and not ruled by it.
