Imagine, To Become A Priest There Are Eight Years Of Study And Preparation, And Then If After A While You Can't Do It, You Can Ask For A Dispensation, You Leave, And Everything Is Ok. On The Other Hand, To Make A Sacrament (marriage), Which Is For Your Whole Life, Three To Four Conferences...preparation For Marriage Is Very Important. It's Very, Very Important Because I Believe It Is Something That In The Church, In Common Pastoral Ministry, At Least In My Country, In South America, The Church Has Not Valued Much.

When We Give Help To The Poor, We Are Not Doing The Work Of Aid Agencies 'in A Christian Way'. Those Are Good, It Is A Decent Thing To Do - Aid Work Is Good And Quite Human - But It Is Not Christian Poverty, Which St. Paul Desires Of Us And Preaches To Us. Christian Poverty Is That I Give Of My Own, And Not Of That Which Is Left Over - I Give Even That, Which I Need For Myself, To The Poor Person, Because I Know That He Enriches Me. Why Does The Poor Person Enrich Me? Because Jesus Himself Told Us That He Is In The Poor Person.

Challenges Exist To Be Overcome! Let Us Be Realists, But Without Losing Our Joy, Our Boldness And Our Hope-filled Commitment. Let Us Not Allow Ourselves To Be Robbed Of Missionary Vigour!
