Shadow

Lord Jesus, cast forth the shadow of your cross over peoples at war: may they learn the way of reconciliation, dialogue and forgiveness.

Defend

The Lord has entrusted the Archangels with the task of defending humanity.

Better

How beautiful would it be to leave the world a better place than the way we found it.

Tourism

Let us promote a sustainable tourism, which stimulates development and encounter with local peoples and avoids every sort of discrimination.

Face

In the brother we help we recognize the face of God which no one sees anymore.

Solidarity

The world needs concrete signs of solidarity, especially before the temptation of indifference.

Together

Let us walk together taking care of each other and of Creation, our common home.

Tired

God never tires of offering His forgiveness each time we ask for it.

Enveloped

The more we let ourselves be enveloped by the love of God, the more our lives are renewed.

Recognize

Dialogue is born when I am capable of recognizing others as a gift of God and accept they have something to tell me.

Encounter

Every encounter with the other is a seed which can grow into a flourishing tree, where many will find rest and nourishment.

Serving

Serving is the way that mission is carried out, the only way to be a disciple of Jesus.

Missionaries

As Christians, we are called to be missionaries of the Gospel.

Joy

The concrete sign that we have truly encountered Jesus is the joy that we show in communicating it to others.

Humble

Only those who humble themselves before the Lord can experience the greatness of his mercy.

Walk

The Church is called to walk with Jesus on the roads of the world, in order to meet the humanity of today.

Forgive

The Church’s forgiveness must be every bit as broad as that offered by Jesus on the Cross and by Mary at his feet.

Trust

Let us ask for a faith that allows us to have trust in God no matter what the circumstances of life.

Paralympics

Greetings to all the athletes participating in the Paralympics: Sport is an opportunity for growth and friendship.

Word

The Word of God can revive a hardened heart.

Contribute

Mercy can truly contribute to the building up of a more humane world.

Knock

The Lord presents himself each day and knocks at the door of our heart

Witness

To offer today’s world the witness of mercy is a task from which none of us can feel exempted.

Compassion

God is always moved to compassion whenever we repent.

Forgive

What a great gift the Lord has given us in teaching us to forgive and in this way to touch the Father’s mercy!

Rock

The one who builds on God builds on rock, because he is always faithful, even if we sometimes lack faith.

Smile

Let us carry Mother Teresa’s smile in our hearts and give it to those whom we meet along our journey.

Imitate

Let us imitate Mother Teresa who made works of mercy the guide of her life and the path towards holiness.

Periphery

Charity means to draw close to the periphery of existence of the men and women we encounter every day.

Earth

God gave us the earth “to till and to keep” in a balanced and respectful way.
