The only war that we must all fight is the one against evil.

Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest, where the powerful feed upon the powerless. As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape.

Agape, the love of each one of us for the other, from the closest to the furthest, is in fact the only way that Jesus has given us to find the way of salvation and of the Beatitudes.

War is not to be waged in the name of God.

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one's life.

Around us there is the presence of evil. The devil is at work. But in a loud voice I say: GOD IS STRONGER.

The great biblical tradition enjoins on all peoples the duty to hear the voice of the poor. It bids us break the bonds of injustice and oppression which give rise to glaring, and indeed scandalous, social inequalities.
