A disciple of Christ is never afraid, for he is not alone. God is a loving Father, who, as He takes care of even the smallest details in his creatures, with all the more reason He will take care of his faithful children.

As Christians, it belongs to us to bear witness to the message of the Gospel, living it in the simplicity and normality of our professional and family life. In so doing, we become instruments of God –lamps of His Light– to illuminate the world with the light that emanates from our lives.
