Acknowledge His living image in our brothers and sisters
How many times, in prayer, do we limit ourselves to asking for gifts and listing requests, forgetting that the first thing we should do is praise God’s name, adore Him, and then go on to acknowledge His living image in our brothers and sisters.

A Church that does not want to draw attention to itself, but to Jesus Christ

Without communion and without compassion that is constantly nourished by prayer, theology loses the intelligence and the ability to intepret reality
Without communion and without compassion that is constantly nourished by prayer, theology not only loses its soul, but loses the intelligence and the ability to intepret reality in a Christian way. #NaplesVisit #VeritatisGaudium

Each one of us has infinite value for God
Each one of us has infinite value for God: we may be small under heaven and powerless when the earth trembles, but for God we are more precious than anything.

We do not have a solitary God up there in heaven, far away
The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity tells us that we do not have a solitary God up there in heaven, far away; no, He is the Father who gave us his Son, who became man like us, and who sends his own Spirit to be even closer to us.
