Giuseppe Chiaretti

“The ideal would be for priests to live a community life and have several common-rooms available. At least the priests of a single pastoral unit in a given place should be able to meet for two or three hours a day, to pray together, to eat a fraternal meal together, to study problems together, to plan work together, sharing tasks according to the skills of each one and checking together on the results of their work. If it is impossible for them to meet every day, let them meet at least once a week.”

“It is absolutely necessary to remember; to remember helps to prevent. A people that does not remember is destined to repeat the errors it has forgotten. It is necessary to remember, also by observing the tragic situations of today: Humanity is always at the edge of a precipice; it is capable of repeating these tragedies.””
