“In our mission we need to constantly update ourselves, since our responses cannot be like recipes that are repeated, but must be the fruit of a profound evangelical discernment, carried out together, while we are on the journey. We need to entrust ourselves deeply to the action of the Holy Spirit who guides the Church without ceasing and to respond synodally to the challenges and cries of the present. Far from encouraging the immobility of a clericalist dogmatism or the anxious activism of a pastoral pragmatism, we should begin by accepting with realism this time of fragility, of inevitable confrontation, where we are faced not only with the sin of the world in a culture of death, but with the agonies of the Church itself, which have left deep wounds... that still seem open…
…The Church, the Body of Christ, will continue to be Holy, because it is united to Christ, but we know that this holiness does not shine in it when we, its members, hide its Light and overshadow it with our actions, depriving it of a clear testimony of life in the service of the Kingdom of God.” (Fr. Gustavo Agín SCJ)
