I asked what we need more of, and the woman on the right did not speak English, so her daughter had to translate.
Mother: "Más paz en el mundo, y ser feliz. No juzgues. usted tiene que entender."
Daughter: "She says 'More world peace and be happy. Stop judging others and you have to understand people.'"
Mother: "Ah, y mucho amor!"
Daughter: "And lots of love!"
Mother (crosses herself, smiles, and looks up to the sky): "And too much pray!"
