Heard this a few days ago from a story on Júlio Lancellotti, a Brazilian priest and activist:

Lancellotti has worked among São Paulo’s street people for 40 years. Yet if you suggest he actually helps them, you get a prickly reply.

“I don’t help anyone,” he says. “I live with them. I share what I can with them.”

For Lancellotti, this is about faith and about pushing back against intolerance and injustice.

“Society has to find a better way of living together.”

It’s since stuck with me. He spoke so much about the ideals of communal living, mutual aid, classlessness with just a few sentences.
