Inequality Is The Root Of Social Evil.

Sometimes We Are Saddened By The Weight Of Our Sins. May We Not Be Discouraged. Christ Has Come To Lift This Burden And Give Us Peace.

I Like It When Someone Tells Me: 'i Don't Agree.' This Is A True Collaborator. When They Say 'oh, How Great, How Great, How Great,' That's Not Useful.

Jesus On The Cross Feels The Whole Weight Of The Evil, And With The Force Of God's Love He Conquers It; He Defeats It With His Resurrection. This Is The Good That Jesus Does For Us On The Throne Of The Cross. Christ's Cross, Embraced With Love, Never Leads To Sadness, But To Joy, To The Joy Of Having Been Saved And Of Doing A Little Of What He Did On The Day Of His Death.

Ours Is Not A Joy Born Of Having Many Possessions, But Of Having Encountered A Person: Jesus In Our Midst.

This Visit Is Meant To Express My Closeness To Our Brothers And Sisters Who Endured The Suffering, Loss And Devastation Caused By Typhoon Yolanda. Together With Many People Throughout The World, I Have Admired The Heroic Strength, Faith And Resilience Demonstrated By So Many Filipinos In The Face Of This Natural Disaster, And So Many Others.
