In today's Gospel, Jesus invites us to experience prayer, putting us in direct communication with the Father. This is the novelty of Christian prayer! It is a dialogue between people who love one another, a dialogue based on trust.

Dialogue
Lord, you are my life!

How to combine contemplation and action
Today's Gospel reminds us that the wisdom of the heart lies in knowing how to combine contemplation and action. Let us ask for the grace to love and serve God, and our brothers and sisters, with the hands of Martha and the heart of Mary.

The place of the Church
Today, the Feast of #OurLadyofMountCarmel, we contemplate the Virgin who stands beside the Cross of Christ. That is also the place of the Church: close to Christ.

True religiosity and full humanity
In today's Gospel, Jesus proposes the Samaritan as a model. By loving his neighbor as himself, he demonstrates how to love God with one's whole heart, while at the same time expressing true religiosity and full humanity.

Every life is valuable, always
May God the Father welcome Vincent Lambert in His arms. Let us not build a civilization that discards persons those whose lives we no longer consider to be worthy of living: every life is valuable, always.

A society is human if it protects life, every life, from its beginning to its natural end
We pray for the sick who are abandoned and left to die. A society is human if it protects life, every life, from its beginning to its natural end, without choosing who is worthy to live or who is not. Doctors should serve life, not take it away.

This is not just about migrants
“This is not just about migrants”, in the twofold sense that migrants are first of all human persons, and that they are the symbol of all those rejected by today’s globalized society. https://t.co/C3rLYrgCnB

My thoughts go out to those “least ones”
On this sixth anniversary of the visit to Lampedusa, my thoughts go out to those “least ones” who daily cry out to the Lord, asking to be freed from the evils that afflict them. https://t.co/C3rLYqZ0Z1

The real joy
In today's Gospel Jesus tells us of the real joy of his disciples: "Rejoice because your names are written in heaven" (Lk 10, 20), that is, in the heart of God the Father.

In difficult times
In difficult times, even more than in times of peace, the priority for believers is to be united to Jesus, our hope.

Through your attention to the little ones and to the poor
Through your attention to the little ones and to the poor, you can kindle stars in the night for those who suffer.

It is the Word of life
The Bible is not just a beautiful book to keep on a shelf. It is the Word of life be sown, a gift that the Risen Jesus asks us to accept in order to have life in His name.

We must always remember that life is a grace
We all go through difficult days at times, but we must always remember that life is a grace. It is the miracle that God drew forth from nothing.

Holiness does not consist in exalting but rather humbling oneself
#StsPeterandPaul were transparent before God. Throughout life, they preserved this humility, to the very end. Both understood that holiness does not consist in exalting but rather humbling oneself.
