“The Holy Spirit is the soul of the Church, infused through the Wind and the Fire of the Upper Room, such that the Church must "be converted" every day, every instant, into what she herself is, the Body of Christ and the People of God living through history.”

“The objective of the Pauline Year is one of deep reflection and of evangelization. That is, in addition to its being a perfect time to awaken knowledge of the person and works of "the Apostle to the Gentiles," it is also an opportunity for all believers and men of good will to reflect more deeply on St. Paul’s inspired message on life in Christ, the message of salvation. It is a time to allow ourselves to be formed by God and His grace, to make our faith, hope, and charity (without forgetting its social dimension of solidarity) blossom in a world that is so in need of virtues.”

“There is a word that today is not very common: educe, which means to elicit, to draw out what is already in another, what I have to do is bring to light their moral values. I always think that in a child, in a young person there are essential values such as loyalty, respect. All of this needs to be educed, to be drawn out. This is the work of education.”
