Those who advocate euthanasia have capitalized on people's confusion, ambivalence and even fear about the use of modern life-prolonging technologies. Being able to choose the time and manner of one's death, without regard to what is chosen is presented as the ultimate freedom.

Love of Christ does not distract us from interest in others, but rather invites us to responsibility for them, to the exclusion of no one….

The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: by not only celebrating it but also by praying before it outside of Mass we are enabled to make contact with the very wellspring of grace.

Prayer finds its source in God's holiness and it is at the same time our response to this holiness.

Holidays and vacations can help to balance activity with contemplation, haste with more natural rhythms, noise with the heralding silence of peace.

Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

You, too, be courageous! The world needs convinced and fearless witnesses. It is not enough to discuss, it is necessary to act!
