Kindness frees us from the cruelty that at times infects human relationships, from the anxiety that prevents us from thinking of others, from the frantic flurry of activity that forgets that others also have a right to be happy. #FratelliTutti
In the world, especially at a time like this, speak good, do good, and if you can't do either, be quiet. Being mean, disrespectful, and making someone feel bad will never bring you any good. If you see someone that is down, do your best to lift them up.
Pray while waiting. God opens & closes doors as He sees fit for you to enter and leave. As often as you need lessons to grow. Keep the faith. He'll walk you through the right one.

The birth of #JohnTheBaptist to elderly parents teaches us that God does not rely on our reasoning and limited human abilities. We must learn to trust, to be silent before the mystery of God, and to contemplate His works in humility and silence.
#Prayer arises from the conviction that life is not something that takes us by surprise, but a stupefying mystery that inspires in us poetry, music, gratitude, praise, even lament and supplication. #GeneralAudience
You have the capacity to change the course of events. We have the choice make things work & either way not to. We are on the verge of testing our capabilities, capacities & resiliency. Hidden beneath are tools by which God fashions you for better things.
Dear young people, let us ask for the grace of a new heart through the intercession of your patron #StAloysiusGonzaga, a courageous young man who never retreated from serving others, to the point of giving his life to care for plague victims. May the Lord change our hearts!
Dear Doctors and Nurses, the world saw how much good you did in a very difficult situation. Even when you were exhausted, you continued dedicating yourselves with professionalism and self-sacrifice. This generates hope. My esteem and sincere thanks go to you!
