Today, the Church in China

Spiritual Exercises

May His experience also help us to be vigilant in the face of temptation and not to surrender to any idol of this world

May we allow ourselves to be reconciled

A full life

Dignity of the person, justice, subsidiarity and solidarity: this it the contribution of the Church’s social teaching in our common pursuit of “algor-ethics”

It is time to turn off the TV

We pray, fast, and perform the works of mercy

We were put in this world to go from ashes to life

We are dust, earth, clay, but if we allow ourselves to be shaped by the hands of God, we become something wonderous

We cannot spend our lives chasing after dust

We are dust in the universe. Yet we are dust loved by God

The beauty of a simpler life

The great mystery of the death and resurrection of Jesus, the cornerstone of Christian life

There is only one path against the spirit of the world: humility. Serving others, choosing the last place, not climbing the ladder

I wish you may all learn to look at life from above

We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God

Let us pray to the Lord that he may move hearts and that all may overcome the logic of confrontation, hatred and revenge in order to rediscover themselves as brothers, children of one Father

Loved by God, we are called to love

To instill hope in who has lost it and to encourage those caught up in themselves not to fear their brothers or sisters

In charity and truth along the path of salvation

We received life not to bury it, but to put it into play

Accept the path of humility and humiliation that He chose for the redemption of humanity

The option for the poor and the abandoned

Peace renewed with a brother or sister

Blessed are the meek

The medicine to combat hardheartedness is memory: recalling the blessings of the Lord

Go back to being small within, be simple and enthusiastic, filled with fervor for God and love for others

From the heart comes good and bad deeds
