“Families are not a problem, they are first and foremost an opportunity.
An opportunity which we have to care for, protect and support. That is a way of saying that they are a blessing.”

“Jesus keeps knocking on our doors,
the doors of our lives. He doesn’t do this by magic, with special effects, with flashing lights and fireworks.
Jesus keeps knocking on our door in the faces of our brothers and sisters, in the faces of our neighbors, in the faces of those at our side.”
