The church grows by attracting, not proselytizing.

I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!

Christ’s love and friendship are no illusion. On the Cross Jesus showed how real they are.
Pope Francis
Image
Families have a citizenship which is divine. The identity card they have is given to them by God. So that within the heart of the family, truth, goodness and beauty may truly grow.

Prayer, humility, and charity toward all are essential in the Christian life: they are the way to holiness.
