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

We need to build up society in the light of the Beatitudes, walking towards the Kingdom with the least among us.

Evangelization does not consist in proselytizing, for proselytizing is a caricature of evangelization, but rather evangelizing entails attracting by our witness those who are far off, it means humbly drawing near to those who feel distant from God in the Church, drawing near to those who feel judged and condemned outright by those who consider themselves to be perfect and pure.

In a family, parents, grandparents and children feel at home; no one is excluded. If someone has a problem, even a serious one, even if he brought it upon himself, the rest of the family comes to his assistance; they support him. ... Should the same not happen in society?

No one can grow if he does not accept his smallness.

Do not be afraid to dream great things!

Prayer, humility, and charity toward all are essential in the Christian life: they are the way to holiness.
