Pope Francis
“Now more than ever, humanity cries out and pleads for peace…. War does not solve problems. On the contrary, it amplifies them and causes deep wounds in the history of peoples—wounds that take generations to heal. No military victory can ever compensate for a mother’s pain, a child’s fear, or a stolen future.”
Pope Leo XIV

“If you do not find God in the stranger, in the refugee, in the poor, you will not find him in the Eucharist either”.
paraphrasing St John Chrysostom



“If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you.”
St. Thomas of Villanova
“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.”
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
