This is what marriage is all about - Man and woman walking together, wherein the husband helps his wife to become ever more a woman, and wherein the woman has the task of helping her husband to become ever more a man.

First, we can pray in communion with the Church on earth and in heaven. Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer!

It means protecting people, showing loving concern for each and every person, especially children, the elderly, those in need, who are often the last we think about.

We can walk when we want to, we can build many things, but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ then it doesn't matter. We might become a philanthropic NGO but we wouldn't be the Church, the Bride of the Lord.

In Confession, Jesus welcomes us with all our sinfulness, to give us a new heart, capable of loving as he loves.

Our Christian witness is authentic when it is faithful and unconditional.

If sadness comes to you one day with an invitation, tell it you are committed to joy and will be faithful to it your whole life long.
