Quote of the day, 26 June: Silvio José Báez, O.C.D.

“When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him and pleaded with him, saying, ‘Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering terribly’.” (Mt 8:5–6). A Roman soldier is concerned about his servant; he has feelings, he suffers for him. Nobody says that police and soldiers have to be inhuman.
