Qui ho scelto di proporre alcune linee che possano incoraggiare e orientare in tutta la Chiesa una nuova tappa evangelizzatrice, piena di fervore e dinamismo.

Giovanni Paolo II, Esort. ap. postsinodale Pastores dabo vobis(25 marzo 1992), 10: AAS 84 (1992), 673.This is a powerful summons to all of us. You too need to see the entirety of your life as a mission. Try to do so by listening to God in prayer and recognizing the signs that he gives you. Always ask the Spirit what Jesus expects from you at every moment of your life and in every decision you must make, so as to discern its place in the mission you have received. Allow the Spirit to forge in you the personal mystery that can reflect Jesus Christ in today’s world. Jan Paweł II, Posynodalna Adhort. apost.

The Lord is greater than all our problems, above all if we encounter them in our mission of proclaiming the Gospel to the world. For in the end, this mission is his and we are nothing more than his humble co-workers, “useless servants” (cf. Lk 17:10). Por. Jan Paweł II, Posynodalna adhort. apost. Ecclesia in Asia (6 listopada 1999), 21: AAS 92 (2000), 482-484. Abbiamo parlato molto della gioia e dell’amore, ma la Parola di Dio menziona anche il frutto della pace (cfr Gal 5,22).
