How much we need, in the church and in society, witnesses of the beauty of holiness, witnesses of the splendour of truth, witnesses of the joy and freedom born of a living relationship with Christ!

There is an urgent need for the emergence of a new generation of apostles anchored firmly in the word of Christ, capable of responding to the challenges of our times and prepared to spread the Gospel far and wide.

It is the beautiful task of Advent to awaken in all of us memories of goodness and thus to open doors of hope.

Each generation, as it seeks to advance the common good, must ask anew: 'What are the requirements that governments may reasonably impose upon citizens, and how far do they extend? By appeal to what authority can moral dilemmas be resolved?'

Let us seek in particular to communicate the deepest joy, that of knowing God in Christ.

Love alone makes us happy, because we live in relation, and we live to love and to be loved.
