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

Jesus intercedes for us each day. Let us pray: Lord, have mercy on me; intercede for me!

Lent is a favorable time for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like Him.

In the silence of the Cross, the uproar of weapons ceases and the language of reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue and peace is spoken.

When I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.

This is God's way, the way of humility. It is the way of Jesus; there is no other. And there can be no humility without humiliation.

What God cares about most is that we are His friends.
