A Christian who does not pray for those who govern is not a good Christian.

To all of you, I repeat: Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope! Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope! And not only that, but I say to us all: let us not rob others of hope, let us become bearers of hope!

I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.

Giving primacy to God means having the courage to say ‘no’ to evil, ‘no’ to violence, ‘no’ to oppression, to live a life in service of others and which fosters lawfulness and the common good. When a person discovers God, the true treasure, he abandons a selfish lifestyle and seeks to share with others the charity which comes from God. He who becomes a friend of God, loves his brothers and sisters, commits himself to safeguarding their life and their health, and also to respecting the environment and nature.

It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good.

Do good: we will meet one another there.
