Help one another: this is what Jesus teaches us and this what I am doing, and doing with all my heart.

We must recover the whole sense of gift, of gratuitousness, of solidarity. Rampant capitalism has taught the logic of profit at all costs, of giving to get, of exploitation without looking at the person... and we see the results in the crisis we are experiencing! This Home is a place that teaches charity, a "school" of charity, which instructs me to go encounter every person, not for profit, but for love.

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

God always forgives, always. But he asks that I forgive. If I don't forgive, in a certain sense I am closing the door to God's forgiveness.

While new rights are attributed to or indeed almost presumed by the individual, life is not always protected as the primary value and the primordial right of every human being. The ultimate aim of medicine remains the defence and promotion of life.

The security of faith does not make us motionless or close us off, but sends us forth to bear witness and to dialogue with all people.

Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
