Let us learn from Christ how to pray, to forgive, to sow peace, and to be near those in need.

The victims of problems of the family are the children. The children. Even of problems that neither husband nor wife have a say in.

There is no such thing as low-cost Christianity. Following Jesus means swimming against the tide, renouncing evil and selfishness

To live charitably means not looking out for our own interests, but carrying the burdens of the weakest and poorest among us.

In effect, a selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and the disadvantaged.

Human life, the person is no longer perceived as a primary value to be respected and protected, especially if poor or disabled, if not yet useful - such as the unborn child - or no longer needed - such as the elderly.

Our efforts must aim at restoring hope, righting wrongs, maintaining commitments, and thus promoting the well-being of individuals and of peoples.
