Be like Saint Joseph: a man of dreams, not a dreamer; a man of silence, because he respects God's plan. #SantaMarta

Jesus knows well the pain of not being welcomed. May our hearts not be closed as were the houses in Bethlehem. #Internationalmigrantsday

"O Wisdom from the mouth of the Most High, you fill the whole world. With strength and gentleness you order all things: come to teach us the way of prudence." #AdventAntiphons

Joy, prayer and gratitude are three ways that prepare us to experience Christmas in an authentic way. #Advent

Our life spreads light when it is given in service. The secret of joy is living to serve.

This is the first step in order to grow on our journey of faith: listening. Before speaking, listen.

Even when we pray alone, we pray together with all the people of God.

Let us beg the Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, to continue accompanying and protecting the peoples of the American continent. #VirgendeGuadalupe

"Comfort, comfort my people" (Is 40,1). How does the Lord give comfort? With tenderness. #SantaMarta

Keep the faith. In this second week of Advent, we ask for the grace to prepare ourselves with faith to celebrate Christmas. #SantaMarta

Every human person, created in God’s image and likeness, is a value unto themselves and is subject to inalienable rights. #HumanRightsDay

Advent is a time to recognize the emptiness needs to be filled in our lives, a time to smooth the rough edges of pride, and to make room for Jesus who comes. #Advent

What is the secret of Mary’s beauty, “tota pulchra”? Not appearances, or that which passes, but a heart totally centred on God.

Loving God means serving our neighbour without reserve, and trying to forgive without limits.

"Saying or doing?" Am I a Christian of words or deeds? "Sand and rock?" Am I building my life on the rock of God, or on the sand of worldliness? "High or low?" Is my life inspired by the Magnificat? #SantaMarta

The beginning of faith is feeling the need for salvation: this is the way that prepares us to meet Jesus.

This Advent, make yourself small, make yourself humble, make yourself a servant of others, and the Lord will give you the ability to understand how to make peace. #SantaMarta

Advent is a time for renewing the faith, for purifying it, so that it can be more authentic. #SantaMarta

So many persons with disabilities and difficulties reopen their hearts to life when they realize they are loved! And how much love can flow from a heart thanks to the remedy of a smile! #WorldDisabilityDay
