This Christmas May We Be Consistent In

To Celebrate The Sacrament Of Reconciliation Means To Be Wrapped In A Warm Embrace.

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.

Today, The News Is Scandals, That Is News, But The Many Children Who Don’t Have Food - That’s Not News. This Is Grave. We Can’t Rest Easy While Things Are This Way.

Can We Who Have Had The Joy Of Knowing That We Are Not Orphans, That We Have A Father, Be Indifferent To This City Which Asks Of Us, Perhaps Even Unwittingly, Without Being Aware Of It, A Hope That Will Help It Look To The Future With Greater Confidence And Serenity? We Cannot Remain Indifferent. . . . Words Without Witness Are Hot Air. Words Do Not Suffice. It Must Be The True Witness That Paul Speaks Of.

Let's Say 'yes' To Life And 'no' To Death.
