Missionaries never give up on their dream of peace, even when they experience difficulties and persecution, which makes their presence strongly felt today.

Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.

How I wish everyone had decent work! It is essential for human dignity.

Be present to those who, living in the midst of a society burdened by poverty and corruption, are broken in spirit, tempted to give up, to leave school and to live on the streets.

Profound peace, spiritual consolation, love of God and love of all things in God - this is the sign that you are on this right path.

Dearest brothers and sisters who are so persecuted, I know how much you suffer, I know that you are stripped of everything. I am with you in the faith of the one who has conquered evil!

Anyone who wants to be pope doesn't care much for themselves, God doesn't bless them. I didn't want to be pope.
