Quotes

“Me, the future Pope? That's a joke by journalists.”
“The Bible, the practice of the Church from its birth, the Social Teachings of the Church, the witness of martyrs and saints, and the constant mission of the Church towards the poor and neglected through the centuries form a chorus and a symphony which we are invited to hear and to join with our voices and the "instruments" that we have, namely our persons, time, talents, treasure.”
