  1. "Medellín was a profound, hopeful, and unforgettable spiritual experience of historical commitment and prayer; it was a strong call to solidarity with the «least of these who are members of my family [brothers and sisters]» (Matthew 25:40). It put us on the path of what Pope Francis calls «a poor church for the poor». It is a vision in which there is perhaps little «religion» but much of the Gospel."
    --Gustavo Gutiérrez, OP, Preface, The Grace of Medellín (2018)
