"In our situation, one cannot share the Good News in a managerial way. The evangelizer and the church have to be sacramental signs of faith. We must embody in our lives the Beatitudes. In a religious Asia, people of other faiths value the Beatitudes. Those sent on missions must embody the values of the Beatitudes. People spontaneously recognize the message in the messenger. Life of witness is a spirituality."

"I have been sent to the people of Chattogram as Pastor, my essential plan is to lead the life of the flock entrusted to me according to the teachings of Christ. We want to build a relationship of brotherhood. Being a missionary is our key responsibility as baptized. To create a vibrant and mature community, we need the active cooperation of an exemplary leadership of the laity."

"The laity can reach other people more easily than the religious, because the religious live and work in community, while the laity live immersed in the structures of the world. The laity therefore have a great opportunity to be witnesses of Christ. The laity are called to preach and bear witness to the Gospel of Christ in their daily lives, with the people they meet. We are all missionaries. Each baptized person also has the responsibility to proclaim the message of the love of Christ."

"We are Bengalese and we feel very much a part of the Bengal people, but as Christians we are called to share our values – the Gospel values – with all people. We try to remain entirely integrated in society. That is why we have extended our work of education for all people."

"As baptized, we have the responsibility to preach the message of God, keeping the Word of God in our hearts and bringing it into our lives. The message of God present in the Bible must be preached with our lives, bearing witness of faith with life and behavior. If we allow ourselves to always be guided by referring to the Bible, every believer would become a living Bible, with great benefit for evangelization."

"We condemn the violence and reaffirm the right to practice our religious faith in this country, in accordance with the Constitution. To Christians I say: do not be afraid, let us move forward without fear, with faith in God who is our salvation."

"The time has come to love the creation of God more with our heart and soul. We have a responsibility to pass on a good earth to future generations. If we fail, they will blame us for ruining God's creation."

"Parents do not care about children: there is a failure of the family. They have given them only money and good life without taking care of their education, ideas, mentality. They have exposed them to the ideological propaganda that promised them to become heroes or have Heaven, by killing. There is a generation gap."

"We should always be ready to offer our pastoral service to make a really Catholic family. Sometimes they face tensions from the local community for having broken the. But we must welcome those who want to come back and offer them confession so that they can begin a new life in the Catholic community."

"All church leaders agreed that the fears of the church members were not unfounded."

"Catechists have the merit of reaching out to remote villages and become witnesses of the faith among non-Christian natives. With their welcoming lifestyle, they preach the Holy Bible and often people express a desire to receive baptism. Catechists teach children and adults who want to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord. They also help nuns and priests to conduct the liturgy, pastoral care, prayer, works of charity. In remote villages they are the visible presence of the Church. They are those who follow the people or the communities of catechumens preparing for baptism."
