“We need to be simultaneously in proximity to extreme poverty and distant from it.\u00a0 Proximity, because the poorest are our common concern and our raison d\u2019\u00eatre.\u00a0 Distance, because they must be able to help us progress constantly in our own lives.\u00a0 The great opportunity the Movement offers is that its cause is, at one and the same time, individuals who suffer and a people who are on the move, forcing us to move with them.<\/p>\n

The fact that they are individuals prevents us from making the people into a reason, an excuse or an alibi for a struggle.\u00a0 Individuals force us to live at their rhythm and to make their heartbeats, their hopes and their thoughts our own.\u00a0 The fact that they are also a people forces us to stay as we are \u2014 men and women to whom the poor can say, \u201cYou can do all you want, but you will never be able to understand because you haven\u2019t experienced what we are going through.\u201d\u00a0<\/em> If they couldn\u2019t say that to us, we wouldn\u2019t be forced to give them the right to speak”.<\/p>\n
