"After
a war, the silencing of arms is not enough. Peace means respecting all rights.
You can’t respect one of them and violate the others. When a society doesn’t respect
the rights of its citizens, it undermines peace and leads it back to war.”
“The
situation of the Salvadorian people is terrible; all their rights are violated.
There is a direct violation against the human person, a violation of rights that
is endemic in society.”
“I
get my energy from my faith in God. God is my rock. He gives me the energy to
fight for humanity, for peace in the world. The most important things are men
and women, but ironically, they are the most aggrieved in our society. I am driven
by my mission to help the Salvadorian people, who live in a defenseless and precarious
state. I know that, from a religious point of view, defending human rights is
also a labor of evangelism because it is the defense of human dignity, of men
and women in the image of God. It is a choice of love, a choice of faith. I shall
never give up.”
Victims
should come first.”
