Work ends up dehumanizing people.

Today let us all ask ourselves whether we are afraid of what God might ask, or of what he does ask.... Do I truly let God into my life? How do I answer him?

The Church is a mother, not an entrepreneur.

In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.

Do not forget, read a passage from the Gospel every day. It is the power that changes us, that transforms us, it changes life and it changes the heart.

We must always walk in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, always trying to live in an irreprehensible way.

Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.
