...We are called to reconcile. Christ's mission is a reconciling one. His presence calls us to be reconcilers in this broken society and to try to place the victims and the perpetrators within the framework of justice. There are people who have died for their beliefs. There are executioners who were often used as instruments. Conversion is necessary, and it's up to us to open spaces to bring about that conversion. It's not enough to just accept the facts. It is necessary to reflect on them and to recover the values lost.

We are gathering the memories of the people because we want to contribute to the construction of a different country. This path was and continues to be full of risks, but the building of the Kingdom of God has risks, and only those that have the strength to confront those risks can be the builders. ...
