Quotes

• It is not easy to link together the individual and society, or the believer and the community. Nothing is easy, in effect. I therefore believe that the "newness" to be sought for today's evangelization should be proposed as a rediscovery of living Christ in the co-existence of specific communities. These, in turn, should integrate interpersonal links, indispensable nowadays: inter-communitarian communities, fixed but interconnected points.
