Dom Helder Camara
memory and prophecy in the centenary of his Birth 1909 - 2009
LITTLE PRIEST, AND OUR WORLD
The largest Catholic nation in the world, Brazil also had a living witness to an active and conscious part of the option for justice and the poor . The little priest, and our world, not only speak for Brazil, but for all devices in the world. We are indebted to Dom Helder
organization of the former Bishops' Conference of the World, that of Brazil, the significant presence of the Church in Latin American work of Vatican II, a lifestyle of solidarity which is illuminated by the evangelical conscience.
There are people who will never be called holy (because with their criticisms have disturbed the great powers of the world) but which have contributed to the holiness of the Church.

A PROPHET FOR OUR TIME
"2000 years after Christ's birth, more than two thirds of humanity is in extreme poverty and hunger. More than two thirds of the Sons of God live in sub-human conditions. 20% of 'humanity consumes 80% of the wealth of the earth. 80% of humanity must be content with less than 20% of these same assets. "
" I'm hungry and thirsty for peace. Of this peace of Christ that sits in justice. I hunger and thirst for dialogue, and that's why I run everywhere to find what can bring people together in the name of the essential .. And speaking on behalf of those who are prevented from doing so. "
Someone knocked at my door.
"One day, someone knocked on my door. It was a poor man. Interrupted my meditation on the disciples of Emmaus: How did they not immediately recognize the Messiah? ... But the same happened with me in letting him go quickly with a small alms. "
The task of priests and bishops
" If I do not deceive me, we, people of the Church, we should make changes within the Church that we demand by the company. "
advice: take advantage of Centenary of Dom Helder Camara, learning more about him and his message (the Internet and libraries contain a lot of material) and update some of his prophecies!
