Quotes

• The Peoples of Asia, in their vast majority, have a deep religious experience, which we must learn to know and appreciate. The evangelization of Asia is, first of all, a dialogue of life with all believers whose experience already brings them closer to God, Who is the Origin of all things. Our deepest conviction is that the Gospel can contribute something profound and vital, to the men and women of Asia.
