A Catholic Vision of Difference and Unity “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim…. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, ‘Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language?’” – ACTS 2, 4-8

“After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.” – REVELATION 7:9

“Racism is a grave sin rooted in pride, envy and hatred. It suffocates the soul by means of expelling from it the charity of Christ. It is an offense against God the Father who made us all; it is an offense against the Son who became one of us to save us all; and it is an offense against the Holy Spirit who was poured out to unite us all.” – BISHOP DANIEL E. FLORES, BA ’83 MDiv ’87 Diocese of Brownsville, Texas
