We need courage if we are to be faithful to the Gospel.

In a family it is normal to take charge of those who need help. Do not be afraid of frailty!

Without mercy, we have little chance nowadays of becoming part of a world of 'wounded' persons in need of understanding, forgiveness, love.

If Jesus is to become the center of our life, we need to spend time in His presence, before the Tabernacle.

We don't need youth museums. But we do need holy young people.

Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.

Indifference towards those in need is not acceptable for a Christian.

Just as we need the courage to be happy, we also need the courage to live simply.

We need to build up society in the light of the Beatitudes, walking towards the Kingdom with the least among us.
