Percayalah, orang yang sungguh-sungguh rendah hati akan diberi Tuhan hati yang damai.

St. Teresia dari Avila

Kalau kita berdoa, harus ada suasana ketenangan dan kesederhanaan; hendaklah kita ingat bahwa kita berdiri di hadapan Tuhan.

St. Siprianus

Sayalah Efrem, orang yang tersesat dari jalan ke surga. Karena itu kasihanilah saya orang berdosa ini. Bimbinglah saya melalui jalan yang sempit.

Santo Efrem, Pujangga Gereja

A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‘Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’ We must always consider the person.

– Pope Francis

Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.

–  Pope Francis
