I would like to ask you a question: how many of you pray to the Holy Spirit every day? Probably few, but we must satisfy this desire of Jesus and pray every day to the Holy Spirit, so that he opens our heart towards Jesus.

What has the Cross left in each of us? You see, it gives us a treasure that no one else can give: the certainty of the faithful love which God has for us. A love so great that it enters into our sin and forgives it, enters into our suffering and gives us the strength to bear it. It is a love which enters into death to conquer it and save us.

The Lord is always there waiting to give us his love: it is an amazing thing, one which never ceases to surprise us!

Prayer is all-powerful. Let us use it to bring peace to the Middle East and peace to the world.

We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick.

From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.

We need to provide an education which teaches crit­ical thinking and encourages the development of mature moral values.
