Let us say Yes to life and not death. Let us say Yes to freedom and not enslavement to the many idols of our time. In a word, let us say Yes to the God who is love, life and freedom, and who never disappoints.

Miracles happen. But prayer is needed! Prayer that is courageous, struggling and persevering, not prayer that is a mere formality.
Pope Francis
Image
You can't provoke, you can't insult the faith of others, you can't make fun of faith.

Mere administration can no longer be enough. Throughout the world, let us be permanently in a state of mission.
Pope Francis

How many kinds of moral and material poverty we face today as a result of denying God and putting so many idols in his place!
Pope Francis
Image
This generation, and many others, have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil... But the devil exists and we must fight against him.
