Quotes

 * My main task now is to learn: this course has been most helpful and it will be useful for my duties in the diocese. Speaking with the other Bishops I learned that many face difficulties which are more serious than mine such as poverty, persecution. For me this seminar has been a call to take courage, not to fear the mission entrusted to me because I know I can rely on the Lord who is at my side. I was deeply moved by the meeting with the Pope. His physical weakness was an encouragement and an example for us. We saw the heroism of this man who spares no effort to fulfil the mission entrusted to him by Christ.
 * A unique experience which has enriched us enormously and strengthened our communion with the Pope and with all Bishops”: student Bishops share their impressions at the end of the study seminar organised by the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples. (20 September 2004) Fides News Agency
