«Christ never said that above all one must be 'just', even if on numerous occasions he exalted the virtue of justice. Instead, he raised the commandment of charity to a mandatory rule of conduct because it is precisely this leap in quality that characterizes the Christian. (...) The task of the magistrate is to decide. Well, to decide is to choose and, sometimes, among numerous things or paths or solutions. And choosing is one of the most difficult things that man is called to do. And it is precisely in this choosing to decide, deciding to order, that the believing magistrate can find a relationship with God. A direct relationship, because doing justice is self-realization, it is prayer, it is self-giving to God. An indirect relationship through love for the person judged"

Benedict XVI to Catholic Action - Rome, 4 May 2008

"These witnesses, who followed Jesus with all their strength,
who worked hard for the Church and for the Kingdom of God,
they represent your most authentic identity card.
Isn't it possible, still today, for you children, for you young people and adults,
make your life a testimony of communion with the Lord
that it becomes an authentic masterpiece of holiness?
Isn't that exactly the purpose of your Association?»
