"Do not be afraid of joy."

"The environmental crisis and social crisis are not two separate crises, but one complex crisis."

"The poor are at the center of the Gospel."

"The Church must be a field hospital, where people are healed and cared for."

"I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security."
