The Alliance Of Love Between A Man

Wars Shatter So Many Lives. I Think Especially Of Children Robbed Of Their Childhood.

One Cannot Proclaim The Gospel Of Jesus Without The Tangible Witness Of One’s Life. Those Who Listen To Us And Observe Us Must Be Able To See In Our Actions What They Hear From Our Lips, And So Give Glory To God!

Jesus Understands Our Weaknesses And Sins; And He Forgives Us If We Allow Ourselves To Be Forgiven.

Today, We Need A Church Capable Of Walking At People's Side, Of Doing More Than Simply Listening To Them.... At Times We Lose People Because They Don't Understand What We Are Saying, Because We Have Forgotten The Language Of Simplicity And Import An Intellectualism Foreign To Our People.... We Cannot Keep Ourselves Shut Up In Parishes, In Our Communities, When So Many People Are Waiting For The Gospel.

No One Listens Willingly To Someone Who Speaks To Them From A Position Of Self-righteousness And Judgment. Again And Again In The Gospels, Jesus Reserves His Harshest Words For Those Who Ignore Their Own Weakness In Order To Lord It Over Others.
