For me, the Pallium reminds me of our duty to obey the Pope, to be faithful to God and to the Church. The Pallium is also a sign of the Pope's esteem and love for the Church in Taiwan: the Holy Father has always said that he prays very often for the Church in China. Today the Church in China is in a difficult situation and it needs the prayers of the whole Church.

More quotes by Joseph Cheng Tsai-fa

Prayer is not passive or impotent! Prayer helps us find the truth. With the country in disorder we Christians must pray and pray above all that the president will repent.

I hope the faithful will continue to believe, to hope and to serve and to let themselves be guided by faith in God and a relationship with God, to put out into the deep with courage to work for evangelisation.

The Eucharist is the heart of our Christian life. As we adore the Body and Blood of Christ and are filled with God’s love we are spurred to go out to serve all people. It is through works of charity in fact that each local Church gives witness of God's love for all men and women.

Imitate your Patron St Paul the Apostle, grow in your spiritual life and mature your spirit of evangelisation. To grow in spiritual life we must be totally dependent on the Lord, we must be obedient to Him, we must avoid sin and try not to give in to human weaknesses.

It was in Lent that I was ordained a bishop and in Lent that I was appointed archbishop. I think the Lord wanted to show me how to carry the Cross following his example. Let us pray for the archdiocese of Taipei.
