"I want to tell you that we must always be very happy, even when we experience our limitations, our defects, the setbacks, the difficulties, the mistakes we make. We can be happy! Because God, Jesus, Our Lady, love us infinitely!"

"I repeat, be happy!"

"Marriage is also a vocation. St. Josemaria taught this from the beginning of the Work. The love between a man and a woman, the forming of a family, is humanly a very good thing, but with the strength of Christianity, with the strength of the Sacrament of Matrimony, it becomes a path to holiness."

"Try to find ways to strengthen people's education and training, especially of younger people because they are the ones who will be able to raise the level of life in that neighbourhood and in other neighbourhoods. First, by each of you truly fostering the deep desire to help others as much as you can, because that is something essential to Christianity. Jesus Christ said, "Whatever you do for someone, you do it for me."

"My dream for Kenya is that it will become a more prosperous country, and that you Kenyans will love each other more and more. And at the same time that Christianity, the Christian faith, grows more and more. And of course, I also dream that the Work, Opus Dei, will grow here so that it can help many more people."
