It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can't do this. A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

We have, in a sense, lorded it over nature, over Sister Earth, over Mother Earth, i think man has gone too far.

Today, the news is scandals, that is news, but the many children who don’t have food - that’s not news. This is grave. We can’t rest easy while things are this way.

In the silence of the Cross, the uproar of weapons ceases and the language of reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue and peace is spoken.

We are in front of a global scandal of around one billion - one billion people who still suffer from hunger today. We cannot look the other way and pretend this does not exist. The food available in the world is enough to feed everyone.

In the poor and outcast we see Christ’s face; by loving and helping the poor, we love and serve Christ.
