Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.

The border between good and evil passes not outside of us but within us

No elderly person should be like an “exile” in our families. The elderly are a treasure for our society.

The family is the most important wealth of a nation. May we endeavor to defend and strengthen the foundation of society.

Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a “disposable” culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer society’s underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised – they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the “exploited” but the outcast, the “leftovers”.

Humanity needs to weep, and this is the time to weep.

Being a Christian is not just about following commandments: it is about letting Christ take possession of our lives and transform them.
