You Have A Specific And Important Mission, That Of Keeping Alive The Relationship Between The Faith And The Cultures Of The Peoples To Whom You Belong. . . . [w]e Have To Follow Christ Along The Concrete Path Of Our Daily Lives So That He Can Transform Us.

Jesus On The Cross Feels The Whole Weight Of The Evil, And With The Force Of God's Love He Conquers It; He Defeats It With His Resurrection. This Is The Good That Jesus Does For Us On The Throne Of The Cross. Christ's Cross, Embraced With Love, Never Leads To Sadness, But To Joy, To The Joy Of Having Been Saved And Of Doing A Little Of What He Did On The Day Of His Death.

In Mission, Also On A Continental Level, It Is Very Important To Reaffirm The Family, Which Remains The Essential Cell Of Society And The Church; Young People, Who Are The Face Of The Church's Future; Women, Who Play A Fundamental Role In Passing On The Faith And Who Are A Daily Source Of Strength In A Society That Carries This Faith Forward And Renews It.

Christian Love Is Loving Without Counting The Cost. This Is The Lesson Of The Good Samaritan; This Is The Lesson Of Jesus.
