Go forth! Carry the good tidings to the poor, bind the wounds of the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom to slaves, open the doors of prisons to those within, promulgate the year of the Lord's mercy... Bring into the world the hope of God, which is Christ the Lord Who rose from the dead and lives and reigns forever.

Global interconnectedness has led to the emergence of a new political power, that of consumers and their associations. It is good for people to realize that purchasing is always a moral - and not simply economic - act.

In Jesus Christ, God took on a human face and became our friend and brother.

The Jesus who makes everything okay for everyone is a phantom, a dream, not a real figure.

Mission is a workshop where there is room for all.

If we take the Lord's hand and let ourselves be guided by him, the path we take will be right and good.

Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.
