In A Very Real Way, The Poor

Jesus Tells Us What The 'protocol' Is, On Which We Will Be Judged. It Is The One We Read In Chapter 25 Of Matthew's Gospel: I Was Hungry, I Was Thirsty, I Was In Prison, I Was Sick, I Was Naked And You Helped Me, Clothed Me, Visited Me, Took Care Of Me. Whenever We Do This To One Of Our Brothers, We Do This To Jesus. Caring For Our Neighbor; For Those Who Are Poor, Who Suffer In Body And In Soul, For Those Who Are In Need. This Is The Touchstone.

Our Efforts Must Aim At Restoring Hope, Righting Wrongs, Maintaining Commitments, And Thus Promoting The Well-being Of Individuals And Of Peoples.

Life Gradually Becomes A Surrender To Situations Conditioned By Technology.

Evangelization Does Not Consist In Proselytizing, For Proselytizing Is A Caricature Of Evangelization, But Rather Evangelizing Entails Attracting By Our Witness Those Who Are Far Off, It Means Humbly Drawing Near To Those Who Feel Distant From God In The Church, Drawing Near To Those Who Feel Judged And Condemned Outright By Those Who Consider Themselves To Be Perfect And Pure.

You Should Be Real Witnesses Of A World Of Doing And Acting Differently. But In Life It Is Difficult For Everything To Be Clear, Precise, Outlined Neatly. Life Is Complicated; It Consists Of Grace And Sin. He Who Does Not Sin Is Not Human. We All Make Mistakes And We Need To Recognise Our Weakness. A Religious Who Recognises Himself As Weak And A Sinner Does Not Negate The Witness That He Is Called To Give, Rather He Reinforces It, And This Is Good For Everyone. What I Expect Of You Therefore Is To Give Witness. I Want This Special Witness From Religious.
