Dear Parents, Teach Your Children To Pray.

It's Not A Problem That We're Sinners; It's A Problem That We Aren't Ashamed Of Our Sin And Don't Seek Forgiveness.

Those Who Today Always Look For Disciplinarian Solutions, Those Who Long For An Exaggerated Doctrinal 'security,' Those Who Stubbornly Try To Recover A Past That No Longer Exists - They Have A Static And Inward-directed View Of Things. In This Way, Faith Becomes An Ideology Among Other Ideologies.

Having Faith Does Not Mean Having No Difficulties, But Having The Strength To Face Them, Knowing We Are Not Alone.

There Is No Worse Material Poverty Than One That Does Not Allow For Earning One’s Bread And Deprives One Of The Dignity Of Work. Youth Unemployment, Informality, And The Lack Of Labor Rights Are Not Inevitable; They Are The Result Of A Previous Social Option, Of An Economic System That Puts Profit Above Man; If The Profit Is Economic, To Put It Above Humanity Or Above Man, Is The Effect Of A Disposable Culture That Considers The Human Being In Himself As A Consumer Good, Which Can Be Used And Then Discarded.

When We Are Generous In Welcoming People And Sharing Something With Them-some Food, A Place In Our Homes, Our Time-not Only Do We No Longer Remain Poor: We Are Enriched. I Am Well Aware That When Someone Needing Food Knocks At Your Door, You Always Find A Way Of Sharing Food; As The Proverb Says, One Can Always 'add More Water To The Beans'! Is It Possible To Add More Water To The Beans?...always?...and You Do So With Love, Demonstrating That True Riches Consist Not In Materials Things, But In The Heart!
