Be Missionaries Of God's Tenderness!

This Is Christian Hope, That The Future Is In God's Hands.

God Never Closes Off Horizons; He Is Never Unconcerned About The Lives And Sufferings Of His Children. God Never Allows Himself To Be Outdone In Generosity.

True Peace Is Not A Balance Of Opposing Forces, And It Is Not ‘a Lovely Façade’ Simply Covering Conflicts And Divisions. Rather, Peace Calls For Daily Commitment -- It's Homemade -- Starting From God's Gift, From The Grace Which He Has Given Us In Jesus Christ.

This Visit Is Meant To Express My Closeness To Our Brothers And Sisters Who Endured The Suffering, Loss And Devastation Caused By Typhoon Yolanda. Together With Many People Throughout The World, I Have Admired The Heroic Strength, Faith And Resilience Demonstrated By So Many Filipinos In The Face Of This Natural Disaster, And So Many Others.

I Want To Express My Closeness To The People Of The Philippines Who Have Been Struck By A Strong Earthquake, And I Invite You To Pray For That Dear Nation, Which In Recent Days Has Suffered Different Calamities.
