Quotes by Jon Sobrino (?)

“The Resurrection of Jesus is...a symbol of hope...I don't see how you can show love...without being in solidarity with the victims of this world. And if you are in solidarity with the victims, I don't see how you can avoid the cross. The theology of the cross is the theology of love in our real world.”
― Jon Sobrino, The Principle of Mercy
