There Is An Ideological Colonization We Have

The Church Is Or Should Go Back To Being A Community Of God's People, And Priests, Pastors And Bishops, Who Have The Care Of Souls, Are At The Service Of The People Of God.

Instead Of Seeming To Impose New Obligations, They Should Appear As People Who Wish To Share Their Joy, Who Point To A Horizon Of Beauty And Who Invite Others To A Delicious Banquet. It Is Not By Proselytizing That The Church Grows, But By Attraction.

Humanity Needs Justice, Peace And Love And We Can Have This Only By Returning With Our Hearts Towards God Who Is The Source Of All This.

Sometimes We Are Tempted To Be That Kind Of Christian Who Keeps The Lord’s Wounds At Arm’s Length. Yet Jesus Wants Us To Touch Human Misery, To Touch The Suffering Flesh Of Others. He Hopes That We Will Stop Looking For Those Personal Or Communal Niches Which Shelter Us From The Maelstrom Of Human Misfortune And Instead Enter Into The Reality Of Other People’s Lives And Know The Power Of Tenderness. Whenever We Do So, Our Lives Become Wonderfully Complicated And We Experience Intensely What It Is To Be A People, To Be Part Of A People.

The Holy Spirit Is A Great Worker, Not A 'trade Unionist.' He Is A Great Worker, And He Works In Us, Always. He Does This Work Of Explaining The Mystery Of Jesus, And Of Giving Us This Sense Of Christ.
