Dom Helder Câmara

Dom Helder Câmara
(Feb. 7, 1909 - Aug. 27, 1999
A VOZ DOS QUE NAO TEM VOZ



More than two thirds of humanity are slaves to hunger, sickness, forced labor, despair.   The other third is in slavery to selfishness and fear...
Let us open our eyes.  Let us begin at once to fight our selfishness and come out of ourselves, to dedicate ourselves once and for all, whatever the sacrifices, to the non-violent struggle for a juster and more human world.

                                                              --Dom Helder Câmara, Le desert est fertile, tr. Dinah Livingstone
