The Eucharist is essential for us: it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.

It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can't do this. A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world.

I believe in the kindness of others, and that I must love them without fear.

Putin has big plans for Russia...Hats off to the Russians. I think I would just get along very well with Vladimir Putin.

We should all remember... that throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the poor, the hungry! I encourage everyone to reflect on the problem of thrown away and wasted food to identify ways and means that, by seriously addressing this issue, are a vehicle of solidarity and sharing with the needy.

One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith.

Every time we judge our brother in our hearts or worse when we speak badly of them with others, we are murdering Christians.
