A church in the secular world

We encounter this God in a land "given to the hands of man", in the face of a poor person and a little one, in the silence and tears, in the joy and hope of those who never tire of sowing seeds... because the God of Jesus is found "moving from the sinful and suffering world and not from a religious height". Becoming men and women is the true Christian vocation and the Church can only be at the service of this call. Every time it gives in to the temptation of power and success, of ritualism, of clericalism, of an asceticism that distances one from the life of the world, forgets his service and his mission; forget who she really is.
