Human self-understanding changes with time, and so also human consciousness deepens.

It does not render justice to the victims, but rather fosters vengeance.

Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.

When we are generous in welcoming people and sharing something with them-some food, a place in our homes, our time-not only do we no longer remain poor: we are enriched. I am well aware that when someone needing food knocks at your door, you always find a way of sharing food; as the proverb says, one can always 'add more water to the beans'! Is it possible to add more water to the beans?...Always?...And you do so with love, demonstrating that true riches consist not in materials things, but in the heart!

Let Jesus preach to you, and and let Jesus heal you. We are all wounded. Everyone.

Just as we need the courage to be happy, we also need the courage to live simply.

Life rejuvenates and acquires energy when it multiplies: It is enriched, not impoverished.
