Catholics From Latvia

"Our Latvian people did what the first century Christians did: they learnt the passages of the Holy Scriptures by heart. Still today in Latvia there is an oral tradition alive. We stand on the shoulders of our martyrs to proclaim the Word of God. Our grandchildren remember their grandfathers and grandmothers, who died for their faith and they like to be, in their turn, the "HEROS" of faith. In Latvia we proclaim the living Word of God!"

"My invitation to these young people is only one: do not look at these negative examples—look at the saints, who in the Church are more numerous than these sinners, these traitors of their own mission, of their vocation. This I would say first. Second point, look for people who inspire confidence in you, and follow them. But the first person to look at and to follow is Jesus!"
