The Christian Priest and the World

"... be concerned about the tremendous issues of the world we live in: poverty, affluence, pollution, race, war, violence, revolution. It is not that you will know the solution of these matters, or will make them the stock in trade of your preaching. It is rather by your concern you will be sensitive to God's own concern, and so your thought about God will be nearer to the truth of his righteousness as a faithful creator. Through our concern about the world in which God is present in judgment and in mercy we learn to be in touch with the true God when we meet God in the Church and in the sacraments."
