In an opinion column published on May 10, 2026, ABC Color argues that Paraguay must construct unity as a fundamental societal goal. The piece, framed in Christian theology, states that unity is a deep human longing, especially within families, and is expressed through respect, sincere dialogue, perseverance, and good humor.
The column identifies enemies of unity—greed, pride, laziness, and selfishness—which it describes as poisons that separate and harm people. It asserts that Christians have a duty to guard against these anti-values. The author emphasizes that while individuals have talents to foster communion, the most important role belongs to Jesus Christ, citing the biblical phrase: “I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you.”
The piece calls for regular participation in Sunday Mass to nurture the relationship with Christ, warning that neglecting this fraternal bond divides the heart and attacks unity. It describes Christ as the head of a spiritual body and the link that binds believers together. All Christians, it says, should open themselves to the Holy Spirit, who works in each soul, leading them to share joys, successes, concerns, and failings with others.
The column concludes by linking personal and family unity to national progress: “A new Paraguay, with less violence and crime, with more development and a sense of the common good, where each person properly fulfills their responsibilities.” It urges readers to become builders of unity by embracing Christ’s teachings and commandments.
