• Al fin y al cabo, el libro viviente de la creación de Dios está a la vista de todos; señala constantemente la vocación divina para la que fuimos colocados en la naturaleza. La naturaleza es una admonición continua para nosotros, porque en ninguna parte la creación de Dios se ha alejado tanto de su origen y propósito primigenio como en la raza humana.

• Tenemos que llegar a los millones de habitantes de las ciudades, a los cientos de miles de los centros industriales, a las decenas de miles de las ciudades medianas, a los miles de las ciudades pequeñas y a los cientos de los pueblos, a todos a la vez. Como una erupción volcánica, una revolución espiritual debe extenderse por todo el país, para espolear a la gente a tomar decisiones cruciales. La gente tiene que reconocer la inutilidad de dividir la vida en política, economía, humanidades y religión. Debemos despertar a una vida en la que todas estas cosas estén completamente integradas.

• You have perhaps waited for years to be freed from some need. For a long, long time you have looked out from the darkness in search of the light, and have had a difficult problem in life that you have not been able to solve in spite of great efforts. And then, when the time was fulfilled and God's hour had come, did not a solution, light, and deliverance come quite unexpectedly, perhaps quite differently than you thought?

• Brothers and sisters, love the earth. Be true to the earth, and do not believe those seducers who look longingly to the world beyond, casting suspicion on this world. Jesus is the greatest friend of the earth-Jesus who again and again, in the original spirit of Judaism, proclaimed love for the soil and love for the land. "Blessed are the peacemakers," he said, "for they shall possess the earth."

• And the desire to own property, to take for ourselves things which in no way belong to us, does not stop short at the sun. The air is already bought and sold as a commodity, by health resorts. And what of water? Or waterpower? Why should the earth be parceled out into private hands? Is it any different from the sun? No; the earth belongs to the people who live on it. God intended it for them, but it has been taken over by private individuals. Privare means to steal. Thus private property is stolen property - property stolen from God and from humankind!

• The natural world around us shows the way to relief. All of life is maintained by the sun, by the air, by water, by the earth and its resources. And to whom was the sun given? To everyone. If there is any one thing that people do have in common, it is the gift of sunlight. But as the early Christians said, "If the sun were not hung so high, someone would have claimed it long ago."

• Our gifts seem so small in comparison to God’s. But our efforts count, even though like Simeon we only stretch out our arms in the patience of faith so that we may receive the Holy Gift. Even though we only wait, poor and yearning in the darkness, in fervent longing for the proclamation, we are ready, and may help bring about the fullness of time.
