Quotes

• The Asian situation - cultural, religious and social - is relatively congenial to the preaching of the Good News of the Kingdom of God preached by Jesus Christ and rendered present in His person and life, as it is fulfilling the aspirations and hopes of the Asian people steeped in the misery of poverty. Hence the Church should take it as its supreme task.
