Part 273. Speak up!!

There is no true commitment to solidarity with the poor if one sees them merely as people waiting passively for help.  The goal is not to become the 'voice of the voiceless' but rather in some way to ensure those without a voice find one

Gustavo Gutierrez 

The Church must fulfil her duty of accompanying the poor and of being the voice of those who have no voice.

Oscar Romero 

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there never must be a time when we fail to protest.

Elie Wiesel

All of us must be messengers of the Lord and of the Spirit, working to transform the society in which we live.

Oscar Romero 

A church that doesn't practice political advocacy for those being marginalised is simply being a tool of the status quo and the Powers That Be.
