Why Is It Taken For Granted That

Everyone Is Called, Everyone Is Sent Out… The Call Of God Can Reach Us On The Assembly Line And In The Office, In The Supermarket And In The Stairwell, I.e., In The Places Of Everyday Life.

A Small Step, In The Midst Of Great Human Limitations, Can Be More Pleasing To God Than A Life Which Appears Outwardly In Order But Moves Through The Day Without Confronting Great Difficulties.

If God, In The Christmas Mystery, Reveals Himself Not As One Who Remains On High And Dominates The Universe, But As The One Who Bends Down, Descends To The Little And Poor Earth, It Means That, To Be Like Him, We Should Not Put Ourselves Above Others, But Indeed Lower Ourselves, Place Ourselves At The Service Of Others, Become Small With The Small And Poor With The Poor. It Is Regrettable To See A Christian Who Does Not Want To Lower Himself, Who Does Not Want To Serve. A Christian Who Struts About Is Ugly: This Is Not Christian, It Is Pagan.

Every Economic...acti On Must Set About Providing Each Inhabitant Of The Planet With The Minimum Wherewithal To Live In Dignity And Freedom, With The Possibility Of Supporting A Family, Educating Children, Praising God And Developing One's Own Human Potential.

The Church Is Called To Draw Near To Every Person, Beginning With The Poorest And Those Who Suffer.
