Division within a Christian community is a very grave sin; it is the work of the devil.

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.

[Mexican people] have a culture, a culture that goes back millennia.

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

We cannot become starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea. We have to become courageous Christians and seek out those (who need help most).

Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.

Lord Jesus, make us capable of loving as you love.
