Sergio Hernán Pérez de Arce Arraigada

"Pastoral service has to do with mission, it is not a service for its own sake, so we have to find out what the challenges are today. We know there are many, and therefore let us allow these pastoral workers to be able to support the ministry of mission in their parishes, schools and movements by becoming more and more teachers and witnesses, brothers and sisters who accompany others, like Jesus Christ with the pilgrims of Emmaus, to help them understand the way of faith so that all may become more and more servants of the Lord."

"We all want to live in a safer and more fraternal nation, but I would like to invite you to ask us a few questions: why is the world of crime and drug trafficking born and growing among us? Why has violence grown in society? Why is our coexistence at all levels more aggressive? Why are our ties more deteriorated? Why do we cross the boundaries so easily? These are questions we must ask ourselves because something is happening to us as a society, there is something sick among us. I think it has to do with our individualism, love of money, lack of appreciation for life, forgetting God and other essential values."
