"Justice issues will be part of the upcoming elections. In preparation, we must be at peace with ourselves, study the issues to become informed voters and share our thoughts with other people."
- Jacinta Elmendorf, FSM
"Each person is created in the image and likeness of God and that makes each person beautiful. If we would only strive to live justly with one another, and treat each other with respect; one voice would not be louder than that of another, one person would not be superior to another, one country would not be more powerful than another. And we would live in peace."
- Inez Kennedy, FSM
"Pope Paul VI challenged the world and each human heart when he so wisely said: 'If you want peace, work for justice.'"
- Irma Kennebeck, FSM
"Justice opens the door to peace. When people are given what is rightfully theirs, they need not resort to violence to obtain it. When people are treated with respect and equality, they need not resort to anger or retaliation. And when people have what they need, they don't need to resort to any means possible to get those things they feel necessary."
- Sandy Schwartz, FSM
"There are always more needs than we can respond to. But we must listen and discern and respond appropriately"
- Mary Ellen Lewis, FSM
