Part I
The document acknowledges the immense changes and challenges of the modern world – anxieties about war, poverty, and purpose. Yet, it opens with a message of hope, emphasizing the shared humanity between the Church and all people.
We are a world searching for meaning.
The document recognizes the deep questions humanity grapples with: What is our place in the universe? What is the meaning of life? These questions highlight a yearning for a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
The Church offers light and guidance.
The Church doesn’t shy away from these questions. It sees itself as a companion on humanity’s journey, offering the light of Christ’s teachings to illuminate the path forward. This light can help us build a better future, one that respects human dignity and fosters brotherhood.
Together, we can create a world of hope.
The document emphasizes collaboration. The Church believes it can serve humanity best by working alongside people of all faiths and backgrounds. By sharing the wisdom of Christ and working towards a common good, we can create a world that reflects the “noble destiny” of humankind.
Sharing
Jesus last words on Earth were to his disciples, can be found in Matthew Chap 28 when Jesus told his disciples,”Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
Jesus calls all of us to share in his redemptive mission here on Earth. I would ask you to share these posts with your family, your friends and your acquaintances, and then share it with a couple of individuals that you may may not be comfortable sharing with, keeping in mind always the words of Jesus, And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age
