The alliance of love between a man and a woman, an alliance for life, cannot be improvised, and is not made in a day.

The Christian truth is attractive and persuasive because it responds to humanity's deepest needs.

Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a “disposable” culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer society’s underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised – they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the “exploited” but the outcast, the “leftovers”.

This is Christian hope, that the future is in God's hands.

All men and women of good will are bound by the task of pursuing peace.
