May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.

Today is [the feast of] Santa Rita, Patron Saint of impossible things - but this seems impossible: let us ask of her this grace, this grace that all, all, all people would do good and that we would encounter one another in this work, which is a work of creation, like the creation of the Father. A work of the family, because we are all children of God, all of us, all of us! And God loves us, all of us! May Santa Rita grant us this grace, which seems almost impossible. Amen.

The Internet offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God.

Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.

It's not a problem that we're sinners; it's a problem that we aren't ashamed of our sin and don't seek forgiveness.

Let us pray for peace, and let us bring it about, starting in our own homes.

[Mexican people] have a culture, a culture that goes back millennia.
