Christian Witness Is Concrete: Words Without Actions

When Families Bring Children Into The World, Train Them In Faith And Sound Values, And Teach Them To Contribute To Society, They Become A Blessing In Our World.

To Love God And Neighbor Is Not Something Abstract, But Profoundly Concrete: It Means Seeing In Every Person And Face Of The Lord To Be Served, To Serve Him Concretely. And You Are, Dear Brothers And Sisters, In The Face Of Jesus.
