Jesus Christ
 


Only the Risen Christ can bring us to complete union with God, to the place where our own powers are unable to bring us.

Jesus Christ
 


In Jesus of Nazareth we encounter the face of God, descended from Heaven to immerse Himself in the world of mankind and to teach 'the art of living', the road to happiness; to free us from sin and to make us true children of God.

Jesus Christ
 


In Jesus of Nazareth…God visits His people. He visits humanity in a way that goes beyond all expectations. He sends his Only Begotten Son; God himself becomes man. Jesus does not tell us something about God's nearness, doesn't simply speak of the Father...He reveals the face of God to us.

Jesus Christ
 


Jesus has brought God, and with God, the truth about our origin and destiny: faith, hope and love. It is only because of our hardness of heart that we think this is too little.

 
'Jesus of Nazareth'

 
 
 
Jesus Christ
 


Jesus wishes to write in each of your lives a story of friendship. Hold on to him, then, as the best of friends. He will never tire of speaking to those who always love and who do good. This, you will hear, if you strive in each moment to be with him who will help you in more difficult situations.

Jesus Christ
 


In Jesus, God has spoken and given everything, but because he is an inexhaustible treasure, the Holy Spirit never ceases to reveal and actualize his mystery. Therefore, the work of Christ and the Church never regresses, but always progresses.

Jesus Christ
 


The man Jesus of Nazareth is the transparency of God, God dwells in Him fully and, while we always seek other signs, other prodigies, we do not realize that the true sign is Him, God made flesh. He is the greatest miracle of the universe: all the love of God contained in a human heart and a human face.

God never abandons his children, he never forgets them. He is above us and is able to save us by his power. At the same time, he is near to his people, and through his Son Jesus Christ he has wished to make his dwelling place among us.
