None are so poor that they have nothing to give...and none are so rich that they have nothing to receive.

The dignity of the human person is a transcendent value, always recognized as such by those who sincerely search for the truth. Indeed, the whole of human history should be interpreted in the light of this certainty. Every person, created in the image and likeness of God (cf. Gn 1:26 28), is therefore radically oriented towards the Creator, and is constantly in relationship with those possessed of the same dignity. To promote the good of the individual is thus to serve the common good, which is that point where rights and duties converge and reinforce one another.

Without wonder, men and women would lapse into deadening routine and little by little would become incapable of a life which is genuinely personal.

I encourage Christians regularly to visit Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament, for we are all called to abide in the presence of God.

Offer Christ your heart in meditation and personal prayer which is the foundation of the spiritual life.

Modern society will find no solution to the ecological problem unless it takes a serious look at its lifestyle.

Each man, in his suffering, can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ.
