Do not be afraid to go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, do not give up your dreams of a more just world!
Pope Francis

A great challenge: stop ruining the garden which God has entrusted to us so that all may enjoy it.

Every child that isn't born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord.
Pope Francis

Dear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith the Lord will not abandon you!
