Speak out and bear witness

Filed under: News — Chrysostom @ 10:06 am

 “Whoever undertakes to listen to the word of God can and must then speak out and transmit it to others, to those who have never heard it, or to those who have forgotten it and buried it under the ‘thorns’ of the cares and illusions of the world, The Holy Father said on 1/26/2007.

He Continued, ”we Christians must ask ourselves whether we have not become too silent. Whether we do not lack the courage to speak out and bear witness. … Our world has need of such witness, it awaits above all the joint testimony of Christians. Unity can clearly not be imposed; it must be shared, and founded on a joint participation in a single faith. Listening and speaking, understanding others and communicating one’s faith are, then, essential dimensions of ecumenical practice. Honest and faithful dialogue is the … indispensable instrument of unity.”
