To follow Jesus, we must embrace being compassionate

We get to know Jesus by celebrating the Eucharist in an intense way

The way to peace is not through violence, but through love

When we take our baptism seriously, we choose to follow Jesus

Become the kind of people who understand that God loves us

Imitate Jesus and reach across the barriers that separate us

Everything is a gift from God. Be thankful, and you will be joyful

In this time of Advent, this time of waiting, spend quiet time with God

What kind of king is Jesus and how does he want to be honored?

We must understand what causes injustice and have the courage to change the world

We cannot worship God with hands covered in blood

We must exercise our prophetic role, which can mean challenging our leaders

We are all called as followers of Jesus to love our neighbor as ourselves

Like Malala, we need to reach out and enter the kingdom of God

The overarching message of the Gospels: God loves us, and God loves us first

God is always waiting to be gracious to us

We must find ways other than violence to build peace in the world

Each of us is called to be a prophet and share Jesus' message

Power, violence, hatred are not the way of Christ; peace, forgiveness, love are

To be a rock of faith, we must let our thinking be changed
