Be generous towards all, especially the poor, fast and pray earnestly in your heart, but do not make a display of it. May this Lent help you grow in Christian living and prepare you to celebrate Easter with great joy.
“In this New Year I want to draw attention to some areas in which we are not doing very well. They include the basic requirements of stable marriages and respect for human life at all its stages.”
“Ten years later here I am trying to sort out priorities for the next ten years, when the priority is staring me in the face - stop the drift, call people back to Mass and the life-giving community of the Church, call them to be true followers of Christ.”
