Quote by Leonardo Donofrio

“Identity was a liquid state, ever interchangeable, and adaptable to its surroundings... It was better to not have favourites - a snake didn't mourn when it had to shed its skin.”

“In this postcolonial context, my contention is that interreligious engagement is enhanced by renewed attention to the particularity of religious traditions. From a European (Anglican) standpoint, a revised particularist theology of religions is proposed as an appropriate Christian theology for our time that respects the integrity of Christianity and of other religious traditions. This particularist approach concerns Christian terms of engagement with other religious traditions, as these may be understood in Christian theological terms. Having regard to questions raised in the opening paragraph above, centred in trinitarian thinking, as capable of hospitality to the liberative and interreligious concerns of post-colonial, Asian and feminist theologies; respectful interreligious engagement and the pursuit of gender justice amid increasing global diversity need not require repudiation of orthodox trinitarian thought and its liturgical expressions.”

“To merely blank the page and vaguely assume that 'religion' is the cause of all the world's problems is, on the contrary, an allegation brought about by nothing more than cognitive lethargy; it is when unburied, unpacked, and exposed but a stale conclusion and a misdirection for the one overwhelmed by centuries of sound theology, scholarly thought, and spiritual development.”

“Milagro Humano (El Soneto) Convertir el agua en vino no es un milagro, Solo significa que estás borracho. Compartir tu última gota de agua con alguien que tiene sed es el verdadero milagro. Sanar y ayudar son el mayor milagro, Incluso si requiere el sacrificio del yo. Un humano que ayuda a otro a sanar, es el verdadero milagro personificado. Así que despierta y trabaja, oh milagro humano, Corre hacia los indefensos como la lluvia monzónica. Lánzate a los pies de los olvidados, No hay mayor nobleza, ni mayor divinidad. Las oraciones no funcionan a menos que tú lo hagas. A todas las oraciones, somos la respuesta.”
