Does Faith Really Matter?

"Humanity is not content with itself. There is now a widespread conviction that the domination of nature and the cosmos, the most advanced science and technology do not satisfy, because they are unable to reveal the ultimate meaning of reality: they are merely instruments, but not ends for the life of the human person and the journey of humanity."

"Today, those who can live the Gospel consistently are swimming against the tide. This is the heroism of daily life, of living holiness at every instant and in every situation."

"If we are to build a future of peace, brotherhood and justice, we must preserve intact the heart of that culture: faith in Christ."

"The believer must, like the Baptist, become a voice that proclaims the Lord’s salvation, by fully adhering to his Gospel and witnessing to it visibly in the world."
