Quotes by Frei Betto (?)

“...prayer makes us more sensitive to the manifestations of institutionalized lies.”
― Frei Betto

“God is love. He who loves knows God, says St. John in his first letter. It is interesting to note that he does not say, "He who knows loves God..." The reason is that every experience of love is an experience of God, even if the person is not conscious of it. Personally, I see Jesus as the revelation of God in the history of mankind. God dwells in every heart.”
― Frei Betto

“Vivemos cercados de palavras vãs, condenados a uma civilização que teme o silêncio. Fala-se muito para dizer bem pouco. Jornais, revistas, TV, outdoors, telefone, correio eletrônico - há demasiado palavrório. E sabemos todos que não se dá valor ao que se abusa.”
― Frei Betto
