I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!

Legislative activity is always best based on care for the people.

The Christian life is not limited to prayer, but requires an ongoing dedication and courage born of prayer.

True charity requires courage: Let us overcome the fear of getting our hands dirty so as to help those in need.

The true strength of the Christian is the power of truth and love, which leads to the renunciation of all violence. Faith and violence are incompatible.

Do I pray that the Lord gives me the desire to do his will, or do I look for compromises because I'm afraid of God's will?

A delicate balance is required to combat violence perpetrated in the name of a religion, an ideology or an economic system, while also safeguarding religious freedom, intellectual freedom and individual freedoms. But there is another temptation which we must especially guard against: the simplistic reductionism which sees only good or evil; or, if you will, the righteous and sinners.
