Kneeling before the Eucharist is a profession of freedom: those who bow to Jesus cannot and must not prostrate themselves before any earthly authority, however powerful. We Christians kneel only before the Blessed Sacrament because we know that the one true God is present in it.

In the face of the sad view of injustices committed against human life, before and after birth, I make my own Pope John Paul II’s passionate appeal to the responsibility of each and every individual: “respect, protect, love and serve life, every human life!”

My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Heart open to God, is stronger than weapons of every kind.
The word that prevails is this: In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world. The message of Fatima invites us to trust in this promise.

The Holy Rosary is not a pious practice banished to the past, like prayers of other times thought of with nostalgia. In the current world, so dispersive, this prayer helps to put Christ at the centre, as the Virgin did, who meditated within all that was said about her Son.

The idea of giving makes us aware of the original gift of Christmas: on that Holy Night, in taking flesh God wanted to make a gift of himself to men and women; God made his Only Son a gift for us, he took on our humanity to give his divinity to us. This is the great gift.
