Human dignity is the same for all human beings: when I trample on the dignity of another, I am trampling on my own.

When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.

The Holy Spirit, in the variety of his gifts, unites us and enables us to contribute to the building up of the Church in holiness. In this great work, each of us has a part to play; each of us, as a "living stone", is needed for the growth and the beauty of God's holy temple. Let us ask the Lord to help us to take an ever more active part in the Church's life and mission, guided by the Holy Spirit and with Jesus as our cornerstone.

If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.

Please pray with me for everyone in Sri Lanka and the Philippines as I begin my trip.

Dear young people, Jesus gives us life, life in abundance. If we are close to him we will have joy in our hearts and a smile on our face.

A Christian who is not a revolutionary today isn't a Christian
