The Church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you.

These two criteria are like the pillars of true love: deeds, and the gift of self.

A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. But what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? Prayer!

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

The moral problem of abortion is of a pre religious nature because the genetic code is written in a person at the moment of conception. A human being is there. I separate the topic of abortion from any specifically religious notions. It is a scientific problem. Not to allow the further development of a being which already has all the genetic code of a human being is not ethical. The right to life is the first among human rights. To abort a child is to kill someone who cannot defend himself.

If there is no humility, love remains blocked.
