  1. To live joyfully we must let go of anger, wrath, violence, and revenge.

  2. Punishment should necessarily include hope!

  3. We Christians have a Mother, the same Mother that Jesus had; we have a Father, the same as Jesus. We are not orphans!

  4. Our Lady also wants to bring the great gift of Jesus to us all; and with him she brings us his love, his peace, and his joy.

  5. The Rosary is a prayer which always accompanies me. It’s also the prayer of ordinary people and the saints...and a prayer from my heart.

  6. It is by loving that the God-who-is-Love is proclaimed to the world.

  7. Ecumenical and interreligious dialogue is not a luxury, but something which our world, wounded by conflict and division, increasingly needs.

  8. Saint Francis, teach us to be instruments of peace which has its source in God.

  9. I entrust to Mary the anxieties and sufferings of those peoples who are innocent victims of conflicts in many parts of the world.

  10. May the Lord, who creates harmony out of diversity, forever protect this beloved land of the Caucasus.

  11. Dialogue with others, prayers for all: these are our means to give rise to love where there is hatred, forgiveness where there is offence.

  12. God changes the world by transforming our hearts. When God finds an open and trusting heart, he can work wonders there.

  13. The poor and weak are the flesh of Christ, who call upon Christians of every confession.

  14. God is not known through grand ideas and extensive study, but rather through the littleness of a humble and trusting heart.

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

  16. Today I leave for Georgia and Azerbaijan. Please accompany me with your prayers so we can sow peace, unity and reconciliation together.

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

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

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

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