"Thousands of women, men, children, old people, peasants, natives, lawyers, media people, mothers of families, catechists and religious leaders have given their lives as martyrs for the Kingdom of God, and for their brethren. Following the example of these martyrs of the faith, who believed that those who die have more to gain than those who kill, the layman, the Christian of today, has a mission to accomplish in society: renew the family, do away with corruption and poverty."
