Adrianus Johannes Simonis

“Today, the Church is a minority. Only few know who Christ is and how to find Him. Even the Church is influenced by the dominating mentality at the risk of reducing the Gospel to a repetition of words or a moral appeal, which, however, don't give the necessary answers to a world, living in confusion. Christian faith is essentially an encounter with the living Christ. The Church is invited to meet Him with the joy of the beginning.”
