Grant that we may be one flock and one shepherd. Do not allow your net to be torn, help us to be servants of unity.

True friends challenge us and help us to be faithful on our journey.

We pray that the Lord may help us to produce His light in ourselves, even in dark days, so that we might be light for others, illuminating the world and life in this world.

Today, the Lord puts us on guard against the self-reliance that puts a limit on his limitless love. He invites us to imitate his humility.

I don't know if the term 'liberation theology,' which can be interpreted in a very positive sense, will help us much. What's important is the common rationality to which the church offers a fundamental contribution, and which must always help in the education of conscience, both for public and for private life.

The Church is not self-made, it was created by God and is continuously formed by Him. This finds expression in the Sacraments, above all in that of Baptism: I enter into the Church not by a bureaucratic act, but with the help of this Sacrament.
