If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.

Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.

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.

When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history.

Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.

We are all sinners. But may the Lord not let us be hypocrites. Hypocrites don’t know the meaning of forgiveness, joy and the love of God.

I would like a more missionary church,Not so much a tranquil church, but a beautiful church that goes forward.
