What do we want the Church to do? We don't ask for more cathedrals. We don't ask for bigger churches of fine gifts. We ask for its presence with us, beside us, as Christ among us.

The Mexican-American and the Church (1968)

We don't ask for words. We ask for deeds. We don't ask for paternalism. We ask for servanthood.

The Mexican-American and the Church (1968)

When we refer to the Church we should define the word a little. We mean the whole Church, the Church as an ecumenical body spread around the world, and not just its particular form in a parish in a local community.
