You work a few hours 16 days a year making millions and complain about maybe working 20 or 22 days??? Get a real job!!!

“The church must suffer for speaking the truth, for pointing out sin, for uprooting sin. No one wants to have a sore spot touched, and therefore a society with many sores twitches when someone has the courage to touch it and say: “You have to treat that. You have to get rid of that.”

Oscar Romero

“Humanity wants no more war.”

John of the Cross

“Peace is not the product of terror or fear.

Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous,
tranquil contribution of all
to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism.
Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.”

Oscar Romero

“We have to admit that there is an immeasurable distance between all that we read in the Bible and the practice of the Church and of Christians.”
