Let's not forget that God never gets tired of forgiving so let's never get tired of asking for forgiveness.

It's true, harm to Catholics must always be avoided, and all of us do this...but not at the price of the truth!

The annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation will offer individual believers and communities a fitting opportunity to reaffirm their personal vocation to be stewards of creation, to thank God for the wonderful handiwork which he has entrusted to our care, and to implore his help for the protection of creation, as well as his pardon for the sins committed against the world in which we live.

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

I ask everyone with political responsibility to remember two things: human dignity and the common good.

We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.

Let the Church always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven.
