The presence of the devil is on the first page of the Bible, and the Bible ends as well with the presence of the devil, with the victory of God over the devil.

I try to lead a life where I don't have to ask God for forgiveness.

We ask the risen Jesus, who turns death into life, to change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace. Yes, Christ is our peace, and through him to implore peace for all the world.

Wars are always madness: all is lost in war, all is to be gained in peace.

When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history.

We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.

Every expression of true beauty can be acknowledged as a path leading to an encounter with the Lord Jesus.
