Despite Our Sins, We Can Say With

I Want To Express My Closeness To The People Of The Philippines Who Have Been Struck By A Strong Earthquake, And I Invite You To Pray For That Dear Nation, Which In Recent Days Has Suffered Different Calamities.

Miracles Happen. But Prayer Is Needed! Prayer That Is Courageous, Struggling And Persevering, Not Prayer That Is A Mere Formality.

Jesus Receives Us With All Of Our Limitations, He Bring Us The Mercy Of The Father Who Forgives Us, And Transforms Our Heart, Rendering It A New Heart, Capable Of Loving Him, Who Loved His Own To The End (cf. John 13:1). And This Love Is Manifested In His Mercy. Jesus Always Forgives Us.

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!

Religious Fundamentalism, Even Before It Eliminates Human Beings By Perpetrating Horrendous Killings, Eliminates God Himself, Turning Him Into A Mere Ideological Pretext.
