“The process of liberation brings with it a profound conflict.
Having the project be clear is not enough. What is necessary is a spirituality of resistance 
and of renewed hope to turn ever back to the struggle in the face of the defeats of the oppressed.” 
― Leonardo Boff, theologian,
whose birthday was yesterday.
