You, today, as young people - some are studying, some are working, some are preparing for the future - have that conviction, have that tender love for Christ, and with Him and through Him you will be able to do great things.

By abortion, the mother kills even her own child to solve her problems. And by abortion, the father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. That father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion leads to abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.

I told them: "Fear not, little ones, you speak a language all men understand, the language of charity. To the question: "What are you taking?" I replied: "Our hearts and our hands."

In God we live and move and have our being. It is God who gives life to all, who gives power and being to all that exists. But for His sustaining presence, all things would cease to be and fall back into nothingness. Consider that you are in God, surrounded and encompassed by God, swimming in God.
