\n'The profession of faith in Jesus Christ cannot be limited to words, but must be authenticated by concrete decisions and gestures, by a life characterized by the love of God, by a great life, by a life full of love for one's neighbor.'<\/em><\/p>\n
\n'Take it to your homes, to the room of your children or grandparents... It can be anywhere, but it must be seen. It is not a decorative object. It is a religious sign to contemplate with and pray before. Looking at Jesus Crucified, we see our salvation.'<\/em><\/p>\n
