Norberto Alcover, journalist and professor at the University of Comillas, 2003.

"Pedro Poveda became part of my life in an unavoidable manner, in a way that, being myself very Ignatian, I discovered in this man from Linares, Guadix and Madrid the most accomplished benchmark of the evangelical ‘being in the world without being the world,’ understanding the mundane as dominant selfishness.

Flavia Paz Velázquez, biographer of Pedro Poveda, 1986.

"We are not before a man who is dazzling, but before a ‘compelling spirit,’ exquisitely polite, while being natural and plain. An unhurried man, capable of taking an interest in everything that is ours and give each thing its relevance.

Paul Grieger, Professor at the Lateran University, speech given in Barcelona, 1974.

"Today's man is not threatened by the ‘lack of knowledge’ but by the ‘lack of awareness.’ One needs to communicate and live with people who" have" the truth that liberates.

Paul Poupard, Rector of the Catholic Institute of Paris in 1974, on the centenary of the birth of Pedro Poveda.

"Our humanism becomes Christianity, our Christianity becomes centered on God; in such sort that we may say, to put it differently: a knowledge of man is a prerequisite for a knowledge of God. (Paul VI).

Cardinal Eduardo Francisco Pironio, President of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, 1993.

"He modeled his priesthood in the configuration with Christ crucified and in loving contemplation of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Letter to the young students of the Academy of Málaga, dated May 1936.

March 13, 1931. Notes. The emphatic manner in which Poveda here re-visits the relationship between spirit and knowledge in his Work is significant. At this time (1931) the possibility of religion and learning being compatible was questioned more than ever, especially in the field of education. The solid intellectual training of the educators in Poveda's Association would contribute to the credibility of a Christian teaching profession. The specific mark of his Association, what governed its foundation, was the mission to live and witness to the harmony between faith and knowledge which is and was so often vigorously disputed, particularly so at the time this text was written.

Personal letter to a young teacher, Julia Ochoa, who took responsibility for the University Residence of Madrid in 1931. Dated in Madrid in September of that year.
