A Fundamental Role In The Renewal Of

We Just Cannot Worry About Ourselves.

We Christians Identify Christ With The Sun, And The Moon With The Church, The Community Of The Faithful. No One, Save Jesus Christ, Possesses His Or Her Own Light.

The Church Is Likewise Conscious Of The Responsibility Which All Of Us Have For Our World, For The Whole Of Creation, Which We Must Love And Protect. There Is Much That We Can Do To Benefit The Poor, The Needy And Those Who Suffer, And To Favour Justice, Promote Reconciliation And Build Peace. But Before All Else We Need To Keep Alive In Our World The Thirst For The Absolute, And To Counter The Dominance Of A One-dimensional Vision Of The Human Person, A Vision Which Reduces Human Beings To What They Produce And To What They Consume: This Is One Of The Most Insidious Temptations Of Our Time.

In This Quest To Seek And Find God In All Things, There Is Still An Area Of Uncertainty. There Must Be. If A Person Says That He Met God With Total Certainty And Is Not Touched By A Margin Of Uncertainty, Then This Is Not Good.
