Faith is not limited to affirming the existence of God. No, faith tells us that God loves us and demands a loving response. This response is given through love for human beings, and that is what we mean by a commitment to God and to our neighbor.

There are not two histories, one profane and one sacred, 'juxtaposed' or 'closely linked.' Rather there is only one human destiny.

As we progress, various shades of meaning and deeper levels of understanding will complement this initial effort.

Theology is reflection, a critical attitude. The commitment of love, of service, comes first. Theology follows; it is the second step.

[Neighbor is] not he whom I find in my path, but rather he in whose path I place myself, he whom I approach and actively seek.
