Let Us Not Forget This Word: God

If Anyone Feels Offended By My Words, I Would Respond That I Speak Them With Affection And With The Best Of Intentions, Quite Apart From Any Personal Interest Or Political Ideology. My Words Are Not Those Of A Foe Or An Opponent. I Am Interested Only In Helping Those Who Are In Thrall To An Individualistic, Indifferent And Self-centred Mentality To Be Freed From Those Unworthy Chains And To Attain A Way Of Living And Thinking Which Is More Humane, Noble And Fruitful, And Which Will Bring Dignity To Their Presence On This Earth.

Let Us Pause Before The Child Of Bethlehem. Let Us Allow Our Hearts To Be Touched, Let Us Allow Ourselves To Be Warmed By The Tenderness Of God; We Need His Caress. God Is Full Of Love: To Him Be Praise And Glory Forever! God Is Peace: Let Us Ask Him To Help Us To Be Peacemakers Each Day, In Our Life, In Our Families, In Our Cities And Nations, In The Whole World. Let Us Allow Ourselves To Be Moved By God's Goodness.

In The Silence Of The Cross, The Uproar Of Weapons Ceases And The Language Of Reconciliation, Forgiveness, Dialogue And Peace Is Spoken.

The One Thing That The Catholic Church Desires, And That I Seek As Bishop Of Rome, “the Church Which Presides In Charity”, Is Communion With The Orthodox Churches.

The One Who Listens Attentively To The Word Of God And Truly Prays, Always Asks The Lord: What Is Your Will For Me?
