"My message today is especially for the youngest among you who will be confirmed in a few weeks. My children, we live in a time of discord and hatred. Lies are all-powerful.

Because you've been given much, much will be asked of you."

"Peter Fitz - Dr. Müller, Gestapo leader"

"I don't mean to shock you but only remind you that charity is a Christian's first duty. St. Paul tells us in today's Epistle, "Brothers, be not wise in your own conceits.

Let us pray for the victims and for their executioners as well."
